Excess soil salinity affects large regions of land and is a major hindrance to crop production
worldwide. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms of plant salt tolerance has …

Over the past decade, genomics-assisted breeding (GAB) has been instrumental in
harnessing the potential of modern genome resources and characterizing and exploiting …

Background The rhizosphere microbiome, which is shaped by host genotypes, root
exudates, and plant domestication, is crucial for sustaining agricultural plant growth. Despite …

Polyploidy (genome duplication) is a pivotal force in evolution. However, the interactions
between parental genomes in a polyploid nucleus, frequently involving subgenome …

Cultivated oat (Avena sativa L.) is an allohexaploid (AACCDD, 2 n= 6 x= 42) thought to have
been domesticated more than 3,000 years ago while growing as a weed in wheat, emmer …

Advances in genomics have expedited the improvement of several agriculturally important
crops but similar efforts in wheat (Triticum spp.) have been more challenging. This is largely …

Until recently, achieving a reference‐quality genome sequence for bread wheat was long
thought beyond the limits of genome sequencing and assembly technology, primarily due to …

Mobile elements and repetitive genomic regions are sources of lineage-specific genomic
innovation and uniquely fingerprint individual genomes. Comprehensive analyses of such …

Na+ exclusion from above-ground tissues via the Na+-selective transporter HKT1; 5 is a
major salt-tolerance mechanism in crops. Using the expression genome-wide association …

Cultivated rice varieties are all diploid, and polyploidization of rice has long been desired
because of its advantages in genome buffering, vigorousness, and environmental …
