Publication of the complete genome sequence of Arabidopsis thaliana, the first plant
reference genome, in December 2000 heralded the beginning of the plant genome era …

Plant genomes provide essential and vital basic resources for studying many aspects of
plant biology and applications (for example, breeding). From 2000 to 2020, 1,144 genomes …

A complete telomere-to-telomere (T2T) finished genome has been the long pursuit of
genomic research. Through generating deep coverage ultralong Oxford Nanopore …

A high-quality genome is the basis for studies on functional, evolutionary, and comparative
genomics. The majority of attention has been paid to the solution of complex chromosome …

Watermelon, Citrullus lanatus, is the world's third largest fruit crop. Reference genomes with
gaps and a narrow genetic base hinder functional genomics and genetic improvement of …

Sugarcane is a vital crop with significant economic and industrial value. However, the
cultivated sugarcane's ultra-complex genome still needs to be resolved due to its high ploidy …

Chili pepper (Capsicum) is known for its unique fruit pungency due to the presence of
capsaicinoids. The evolutionary history of capsaicinoid biosynthesis and the mechanism of …

Plant genomes are so highly diverse that a substantial proportion of genomic sequences are
not shared among individuals. The variable DNA sequences, along with the conserved core …

As a major event in human civilization, wild plants were successfully domesticated to be
crops, largely owing to continuing artificial selection. Here, we summarize new discoveries …

Kiwifruit is an economically and nutritionally important fruit crop with extremely high contents
of vitamin C. However, the previously released versions of kiwifruit genomes all have a mass …
