Crop wild relatives (CWRs) have provided breeders with several'game-changing'traits or
genes that have boosted crop resilience and global agricultural production. Advances in …

Recent years have seen a surge in plant genome sequencing projects and the comparison
of multiple related individuals. The high degree of genomic variation observed led to the …

Soybean is one of the most important vegetable oil and protein feed crops. To capture the
entire genomic diversity, it is needed to construct a complete high-quality pan-genome from …

Zero hunger and good health could be realized by 2030 through effective conservation,
characterization and utilization of germplasm resources. So far, few chickpea (Cicer …

Rapeseed (Brassica napus) is the second most important oilseed crop in the world but the
genetic diversity underlying its massive phenotypic variations remains largely unexplored …

Multiple “omics” approaches have emerged as successful technologies for plant systems
over the last few decades. Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have paved a …

Domestication of the apple was mainly driven by interspecific hybridization. In the present
study, we report the haplotype-resolved genomes of the cultivated apple (Malus domestica …

Modern tomatoes have narrow genetic diversity limiting their improvement potential. We
present a tomato pan-genome constructed using genome sequences of 725 …

Here we analyse genetic variation, population structure and diversity among 3,010 diverse
Asian cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) genomes from the 3,000 Rice Genomes Project. Our …

Since the early days of the genome era, the scientific community has relied on a single
'reference'genome for each species, which is used as the basis for a wide range of genetic …
