Structural variations (SVs) including gene presence/absence variations and copy number
variations are a common feature of genomes in plants and, together with single nucleotide …

De novo allopolyploidization in Brassica provides a very successful model for reconstructing
polyploid genomes using progenitor species and relatives to broaden crop gene pools and …

Rice (Oryza sativa), a major staple throughout the world and a model system for plant
genomics and breeding, was the first crop genome sequenced almost two decades ago …

Background Despite the prevalence and recurrence of polyploidization in the speciation of
flowering plants, its impacts on crop intraspecific genome diversification are largely …

In plants, cytosine DNA methylations (5mCs) can happen in three sequence contexts as
CpG, CHG, and CHH (where H= A, C, or T), which play different roles in the regulation of …

Assembly of complete genomes can reveal functional genetic elements missing from draft
sequences. Here we present the near-complete telomere-to-telomere and contiguous …

Brassica rapa comprises many important cultivated vegetables and oil crops. However,
Chiifu v3. 0, the current B. rapa reference genome, still contains hundreds of gaps. Here, we …

Background The combination of long reads and long-range information to produce genome
assemblies is now accepted as a common standard. This strategy not only allows access to …

Despite early domestication around 3000 BC, the evolutionary history of the ancient
allotetraploid species Brassica juncea (L.) Czern & Coss remains uncertain. Here, we report …

Ethiopian mustard (Brassica carinata) is an ancient crop with remarkable stress resilience
and a desirable seed fatty acid profile for biofuel uses. Brassica carinata is one of six …
