Plants and pathogens constantly adapt to each other. As a consequence, many members of
the plant immune system, and especially the intracellular nucleotide-binding site leucine …

Plants coordinately use cell‐surface and intracellular immune receptors to perceive
pathogens and mount an immune response. Intracellular events of pathogen recognition are …

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 …

Advances in genomics have expedited the improvement of several agriculturally important
crops but similar efforts in wheat (Triticum spp.) have been more challenging. This is largely …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) crops suffer severe losses
to late blight caused by the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans. Solanum …

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

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 …

Gene cloning in repeat-rich polyploid genomes remains challenging. Here, we describe a
strategy for overcoming major bottlenecks in cloning of the powdery mildew resistance gene …

Plant genome sequencing has dramatically increased, and some species even have
multiple high-quality reference versions. Demands for clade-specific homology inference …

Long-read technologies hold the promise to obtain more complete genome assemblies and
to make them easier. Coupled with long-range technologies, they can reveal the architecture …
