Highlights•Plant NLR immune receptors are rapidly diversifying modular proteins.•There is a
vast diversity in NLR copy number and allelic variation across species.•NLRs are sensors of …

There is an increasing awareness that as a result of structural variation, a reference
sequence representing a genome of a single individual is unable to capture all of the gene …

Homoeologous exchanges (HE s) have been shown to generate novel gene combinations
and phenotypes in a range of polyploid species. Gene presence/absence variation (PAV) is …

The giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) of California are massive, long-lived trees
that grow along the US Sierra Nevada mountains. Genomic data are limited in giant sequoia …

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is a staple food crops in the arid and rainfed production

Understanding the evolutionary forces in speciation is a central goal in evolutionary biology.
Asian cultivated rice has two subspecies, indica and japonica, but the underlying …

A single reference genome does not fully capture species diversity. By contrast, a
pangenome incorporates multiple genomes to capture the entire set of nonredundant genes …

Many recent studies have emphasized the important role of structural variation (SV) in
determining human genetic and phenotypic variation. In plants, studies aimed at elucidating …

The pan-genome of a species is defined as the union of all the genes and non-coding
sequences found in all its individuals. However, constructing a pan-genome for plants with …
