Genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) have developed into a powerful and ubiquitous
tool for the investigation of complex traits. In large part, this was fueled by advances in …

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 …

A better understanding of the extent of convergent selection among crops could greatly
improve breeding programs. We found that the quantitative trait locus KRN2 in maize and its …

Pan-genomes from large natural populations can capture genetic diversity and reveal
genomic complexity. Using de novo long-read assembly, we generated a graph-based …

Broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) is an orphan crop with the potential to improve
cereal production and quality, and ensure food security. Here we present the genetic …

Current global agricultural production must feed over 7 billion people. However, productivity
varies greatly across the globe and is under threat from both increased competitions for land …

Sorghum is a drought-tolerant staple crop for half a billion people in Africa and Asia, an
important source of animal feed throughout the world and a biofuel feedstock of growing …

Crop production is the primary goal of agricultural activities, which is always taken into
consideration. However, global agricultural systems are coming under increasing pressure …

Large-scale genomic variations are fundamental resources for crop genetics and breeding.
Here we sequenced 1,904 genomes of broomcorn millet to an average of 40× sequencing …

Domestication is a co-evolutionary process that occurs when wild plants are brought into
cultivation by humans, leading to origin of new species and/or differentiated populations that …
