Soybean (Glycine max), as an economically important food and oilseedcrop, is a major
source of plant proteins and oils. Although considerable progress has been made in …

As a major event in human civilization, wild plants were successfully domesticated to be
crops, largely owing to continuing artificial selection. Here, we summarize new discoveries …

A better understanding of the extent of convergent selection among crops could greatly
improve breeding programs. We found that the quantitative trait locus KRN2 in maize and its …

Modern green revolution varieties of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) confer semi-dwarf and
lodging-resistant plant architecture owing to the Reduced height-B1b (Rht-B1b) and Rht …

Domestication of the apple was mainly driven by interspecific hybridization. In the present
study, we report the haplotype-resolved genomes of the cultivated apple (Malus domestica …

Population growth and economic development in China has increased the demand for food
and animal feed, raising questions regarding China's future maize production self …

Crop production is facing unprecedented challenges. Despite the fact that the food supply
has significantly increased over the past half‐century,~ 8.9 and 14.3% people are still …

Appropriate root system architecture (RSA) can improve maize yields in densely planted
fields, but little is known about its genetic basis in maize. Here we performed root …

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 …

Wild teas are valuable genetic resources for studying domestication and breeding. Here we
report the assembly of a high-quality chromosome-scale reference genome for an ancient …
