In the last decade, the revolution in sequencing technologies has deeply impacted crop
genotyping practice. New methods allowing rapid, high‐throughput genotyping of entire …

Legumes play a vital role in ensuring global nutritional food security and improving soil
quality through nitrogen fixation. Accelerated higher genetic gains is required to meet the …

We report the first annotated chromosome-level reference genome assembly for pea, Gregor
Mendel's original genetic model. Phylogenetics and paleogenomics show genomic …

There is an increasing understanding that variation in gene presence–absence plays an
important role in the heritability of agronomic traits; however, there have been relatively few …

Nicotiana benthamiana is an invaluable model plant and biotechnology platform with a~ 3
Gb allotetraploid genome. To further improve its usefulness and versatility, we have …

Summary Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) is a legume crop that is resilient to hot and
drought‐prone climates, and a primary source of protein in sub‐Saharan Africa and other …

As an increasing number of plant genome sequences become available, it is clear that gene
content varies between individuals, and the challenge arises to predict the gene content of a …

Many important crop species have genomes originating from ancestral or recent
polyploidisation events. Multiple homoeologous gene copies, chromosomal rearrangements …

Background: Genetic diversity is an essential resource for breeders to improve new cultivars
with desirable characteristics. Recently, genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS), a next …

Drought tolerance is a complex trait that involves numerous genes. Identifying key causal
genes or linked molecular markers can facilitate the fast development of drought tolerant …
