In the coming decades, feeding the expanded global population nutritiously and sustainably
will require substantial improvements to the global food system worldwide. The main …

Multicellular glandular trichomes are epidermal outgrowths characterized by the presence of
a head made of cells that have the ability to secrete or store large quantities of specialized …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the world's most important non-cereal food crop, and the
vast majority of commercially grown cultivars are highly heterozygous tetraploids. Advances …

Potato is the most widely produced tuber crop worldwide. However, reconstructing the four
haplotypes of its autotetraploid genome remained an unsolved challenge. Here, we report …

Reinventing potato from a clonally propagated tetraploid into a seed-propagated diploid,
hybrid potato, is an important innovation in agriculture. Due to deleterious mutations, it has …

Hybrid potato breeding will transform the crop from a clonally propagated tetraploid to a
seed-reproducing diploid. Historical accumulation of deleterious mutations in potato …

Cultivated potato is a clonally propagated autotetraploid species with a highly
heterogeneous genome. Phased assemblies of six cultivars including two chromosome …

Background Worldwide, the cultivated potato, Solanum tuberosum L., is the No. 1 vegetable
crop and a critical food security crop. The genome sequence of DM1–3 516 R44, a doubled …

Background The sharp increase of plant genome and transcriptome data provide valuable
resources to investigate evolutionary consequences of gene duplication in a range of taxa …

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and CRISPR‐associated protein‐
9 (CRISPR‐Cas9) can be used as an efficient tool for genome editing in potato (Solanum …
