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

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 …

A complete telomere-to-telomere (T2T) finished genome has been the long pursuit of
genomic research. Through generating deep coverage ultralong Oxford Nanopore …

We report de novo genome assemblies, transcriptomes, annotations, and methylomes for
the 26 inbreds that serve as the founders for the maize nested association mapping …

cis-Regulatory elements encode the genomic blueprints that ensure the proper
spatiotemporal patterning of gene expression necessary for appropriate development and …

Background Sequencing technology and assembly algorithms have matured to the point
that high-quality de novo assembly is possible for large, repetitive genomes. Current …

Global warming causes a range of negative impacts on plants especially due to rapid
changes in temperatures, alterations of rainfall patterns, floods or drought conditions, and …

INTRODUCTION Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most widely cultivated crop on Earth,
contributing about a fifth of the total calories consumed by humans. Consequently, wheat …

In the context of climate change, drought is one of the most limiting factors that influence
crop production. Maize, as a major crop, is highly vulnerable to water deficit, which causes …

Crop improvements can help us to meet the challenge of feeding a population of 10 billion,
but can we breed better varieties fast enough? Technologies such as genotyping, marker …
