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 …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) crops suffer severe losses
to late blight caused by the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans. Solanum …

Over the past 20 years, tremendous advances in sequencing technologies and
computational algorithms have spurred plant genomic research into a thriving era with …

Hybrid potato breeding will transform the crop from a clonally propagated tetraploid to a
seed-reproducing diploid. Historical accumulation of deleterious mutations in potato …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) originated in the Andes and evolved its vegetative
propagation strategy through short day‐dependent tuber development. Herein, we present a …

Potato is a vital food security crop and is ranked as the world's third most important food crop
after rice and wheat. In 2011, the first genome assembly of a doubled monoploid potato DM1 …

Apple scab, a fungal disease caused by Venturia inaequalis, leads to losses in both yield
and fruit quality of apples (Malus domestica Borkh.). Most commercial apple cultivars …

Genome editing is a powerful breeding technique that introduces mutations into specific
gene sequences in genomes. For genome editing in higher plants, nucleotides for artificial …

The forthcoming massive genome data generated by the Earth BioGenome Project will open
up a new era of comparative genomics, for which genome synteny analysis provides an …

Research on diploid hybrid potato has made fast advances in recent years. In this review we
give an overview of the most recent and relevant research outcomes. We define different …
