Peptides are biopolymers, typically consisting of 2–50 amino acids. They are biologically
produced by the cellular ribosomal machinery or by non-ribosomal enzymes and …

Ancient duplication events and a high rate of retention of extant pairs of duplicate genes
have contributed to an abundance of duplicate genes in plant genomes. These duplicates …

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 …

Motivation Genome plotting is performed using a wide range of visualizations tools each
with emphasis on a different informative dimension of the genome. These tools can provide …

Major advances in crop yields are needed in the coming decades. However, plant breeding
is currently limited by incremental improvements in quantitative traits that often rely on …

Ferns are the closest sister group to all seed plants, yet little is known about their genomes
other than that they are generally colossal. Here, we report on the genomes of Azolla …

Coffea arabica, an allotetraploid hybrid of Coffea eugenioides and Coffea canephora, is the
source of approximately 60% of coffee products worldwide, and its cultivated accessions …

Chenopodium quinoa (quinoa) is a highly nutritious grain identified as an important crop to
improve world food security. Unfortunately, few resources are available to facilitate its …

Since its 2015 update, MaizeGDB, the Maize Genetics and Genomics database, has
expanded to support the sequenced genomes of many maize inbred lines in addition to the …

Propionate is produced in the human large intestine by microbial fermentation and may help
maintain human health. We have examined the distribution of three different pathways used …
