A pangenome captures the genomic diversity for a species, derived from a collection of
genetic sequences of diverse populations. Advances in sequencing technologies have …

Plant stress is one of the most significant factors affecting plant fitness and, consequently,
food production. However, plant stress may also be profitable since it behaves hormetically; …

Background A pangenome aims to capture the complete genetic diversity within a species
and reduce bias in genetic analysis inherent in using a single reference genome. However …

The pear (Pyrus spp.) is well known for diverse flavors, textures, and global horticultural
importance. However, the genetic diversity responsible for its extensive phenotypic …

Polyploidy, the result of whole-genome duplication (WGD), is a major driver of eukaryote
evolution. Yet WGDs are hugely disruptive mutations, and we still lack a clear understanding …

Sex chromosomes have evolved hundreds of times across the flowering plant tree of life;
their recent origins in some members of this clade can shed light on the early consequences …

Fruit tree crops are an essential part of the food production systems and are key to achieve
food and nutrition security. Genetic improvement of fruit trees by conventional breeding has …

It is often stated that agricultural outputs need to increase substantially to meet the demands
for more food posed by a growing population. However, when accounting for climate …

Brassica rapa is grown worldwide as economically important vegetable and oilseed crop.
However, its production is challenged by yield‐limiting pathogens. The sustainable control …

A pangenome encompasses the complete genetic diversity of a species, by assembling a
range of representative individuals from various populations. This review describes the …
