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

The current trajectory for crop yields is insufficient to nourish the world's population by 2050.
Greater and more consistent crop production must be achieved against a backdrop of …

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 …

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

Zero hunger and good health could be realized by 2030 through effective conservation,
characterization and utilization of germplasm resources. So far, few chickpea (Cicer …

Long-term climate change and periodic environmental extremes threaten food and fuel
security and global crop productivity,–. Although molecular and adaptive breeding strategies …

Polyploidy is an evolutionary innovation for many animals and all flowering plants, but its
impact on selection and domestication remains elusive. Here we analyze genome evolution …

The eighteenth-century Malthusian prediction of population growth outstripping food
production has not yet come to bear. Unprecedented agricultural land expansions since …

Climate change with altered pest-disease dynamics and rising abiotic stresses threatens
resource-constrained agricultural production systems worldwide. Genomics-assisted …

Crop production systems need to expand their outputs sustainably to feed a burgeoning
