Publication of the complete genome sequence of Arabidopsis thaliana, the first plant
reference genome, in December 2000 heralded the beginning of the plant genome era …

Plant genomes are so highly diverse that a substantial proportion of genomic sequences are
not shared among individuals. The variable DNA sequences, along with the conserved core …

The orange subfamily (Aurantioideae) contains several Citrus species cultivated worldwide,
such as sweet orange and lemon. The origin of Citrus species has long been debated and …

Complete and accurate reference genomes and annotations provide fundamental resources
for functional genomics and crop breeding. Here we report a de novo assembly and …

Pepper (Capsicum spp.) is one of the earliest cultivated crops and includes five
domesticated species, C. annuum var. annuum, C. chinense, C. frutescens, C. baccatum var …

Although originally primarily a system for functional biology, Arabidopsis thaliana has, owing
to its broad geographical distribution and adaptation to diverse environments, developed …

The silkworm Bombyx mori is an important economic insect for producing silk, the “queen of
fabrics”. The currently available genomes limit the understanding of its genetic diversity and …

Anthocyanin pigments contribute to plant coloration and are valuable sources of
antioxidants in the human diet as components of fruits and vegetables. Their production is …

Structural variations (SVs) and copy number variations (CNVs) contribute to trait variations in
fleshy-fruited species. Here, we assemble 10 genomes of genetically diverse Malus …

As large-scale genomic studies have progressed, it has been revealed that a single
reference genome pattern cannot represent genetic diversity at the species level. While …
