Excess soil salinity affects large regions of land and is a major hindrance to crop production
worldwide. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms of plant salt tolerance has …

Over the past decade, genomics-assisted breeding (GAB) has been instrumental in
harnessing the potential of modern genome resources and characterizing and exploiting …

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 …

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

Structural variations (SVs) and gene copy number variations (gCNVs) have contributed to
crop evolution, domestication, and improvement. Here, we assembled 31 high-quality …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Prime editors, which are CRISPR–Cas9 nickase (H840A)–reverse transcriptase fusions
programmed with prime editing guide RNAs (pegRNAs), can edit bases in mammalian cells …
