Advances in high-throughput sequencing (HTS) have fostered rapid developments in the
field of microbiome research, and massive microbiome datasets are now being generated …

Nitrogen-use efficiency of indica varieties of rice is superior to that of japonica varieties. We
apply 16S ribosomal RNA gene profiling to characterize root microbiota of 68 indica and 27 …

While long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) research in the past has primarily focused on the
discovery of novel genes, today it has shifted towards functional annotation of this large …

With the application and development of high-throughput sequencing technology in life and
health sciences, massive multi-omics data brings the problem of efficient management and …

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

Tea is an economically important plant characterized by a large genome, high
heterozygosity, and high species diversity. In this study, we assemble a 3.26-Gb high-quality …

Ethiopian mustard (Brassica carinata) in the Brassicaceae family possesses many excellent
agronomic traits. Here, the high-quality genome sequence of B. carinata is reported …

One model of a disease‐suppressive soil predicts that the confrontation of plant with a
phytopathogen can lead to the recruitment and accumulation of beneficial microorganisms …

Background Gene expression is a key determinant of cellular response. Natural variation in
gene expression bridges genetic variation to phenotypic alteration. Identification of the …

Crop breeding has undergone numerous advancements throughout history with the next
revolution being uncertain. This review provides an overview of breeding techniques from …
