Understanding and exploiting genetic diversity is a key factor for the productive stable production of rice. Here, we utilize 73 high-quality genomes that encompass subpopulation structure Asian rice (Oryza sativa), plus two wild relatives (O. rufipogon O. punctata), to build pan-genome inversion index 1769 non-redundant inversions span an average ~29% sativa cv. Nipponbare reference genome sequence. Using this index, estimate rate ~700 per million years in rice, which 16 50 times higher...

Abstract In order to elucidate the still controversial processes that originated European wine grapes from its wild progenitor, here we analyse 204 genomes of Vitis vinifera and show all analyses support a single domestication event occurred in Western Asia was followed by numerous pervasive introgressions populations. This admixture generated so-called international have diffused Alpine countries worldwide. Across Europe, marked differences genomic diversity are observed local varieties...

Abstract Pigmented rice ( Oryza sativa L.) is a rich source of nutrients, but pigmented lines typically have long life cycles and limited productivity. Here we generated genome assemblies 5 varieties evaluated the genetic variation among 51 by resequencing an additional 46 varieties. Phylogenetic analyses divided into four varietal groups: Geng-japonica , Xian-indica circum- Aus Basmati. Metabolomics ionomics profiling revealed that black are in aromatic secondary metabolites. We established...

The advent of molecular breeding is advocated to improve the productivity and sustainability second-generation bioenergy crops. Advanced in crops relies on ability massively sample genetic diversity. Genotyping-by-sequencing has become a widely adopted method for cost-effective genotyping. It basically requires no initial investment design as compared with array-based platforms which have been shown offer very robust assays. latter, however, drawback being limited analyse only diversity...

Vitis vinifera is an economically important crop and a useful model in which to study chromatin dynamics. In contrast the small relatively simple genome of Arabidopsis thaliana, grapevine contains complex 487 Mb that exhibits extensive colonization by transposable elements. We used Hi-C, ChIP-seq ATAC-seq measure how features correlate expression 31 845 genes. revealed presence more than 16 000 open regions, we characterize nearly 5000 as possible distal enhancer candidates occur intergenic...

The genetic control of self-incompatibility (SI) has been recently disclosed in olive. Inter-varietal crossing confirmed the presence only two incompatibility groups (G1 and G2), suggesting a simple Mendelian inheritance trait. A ddRAD sequencing biparental population segregating for performed high-density linkage maps were constructed order to map SI locus identify gene candidates linked markers. progeny consisted full-sib family 229 individuals derived from cross 'Leccino' (G1) × 'Dolce...

Oryza is remarkable genus - with two domesticated (i.e. Asian and African rice) 25 diploid tetraploid wild species, 11 extant genome types, a ~3.4-fold size variation that possesses virtually untapped reservoir of genes can be used for crop improvement. Here we unveil interrogate new chromosome-level assemblies nine species in the context ~15 million years evolution genus. We show core (sub)genome across all types only ~200 Mb largely syntenic, while remaining nuclear fractions, spanning...

Abstract The wild relatives of rice hold unexplored genetic diversity that can be employed to feed an estimated population 10 billion by 2050. Oryza Map Alignment Project (OMAP) initiated in 2003 has provided comprehensive genomic resources for comparative, evolutionary, and functional characterization the rice, facilitating cloning >600 genes, including those grain width (GW5) submergence tolerance (SUB1A). Following footsteps original project, goal ‘IOMAP: Americas’ is investigate...

Kiwifruit breeding still largely relies on phenotypic observation of cross progeny grown in the field to fruiting maturity, without any selection prior juvenility being overcome. Developing marker-assisted for traits interest would greatly help breeders screen rapidly populations, thereby saving costs and labor. With aim mapping several characters kiwifruit, a pseudo test-cross population diploid Actinidia chinensis was produced by crossing parents with contrasting traits. Ninety-four...

Abstract The collection of Rudolf II (1552–1612), housed in various spaces at Prague Castle, has attracted attention from the time its foundation to present day. Most research effort past few decades been focused on set chambers designated Kunstkammer, and given little consideration existence a further private space, often cited archival sources or inventories. Since Rudolf’s arrival there existed room named records as Schreibstüblein Schreibstuben, which is be regarded studiolo emperor – an...

Abstract Understanding and exploiting genetic diversity is a key factor for the productive stable production of rice. Utilizing 16 high-quality genomes that represent subpopulation structure Asian rice ( O. sativa ), plus two close relatives rufipogon punctata we built pan-genome inversion index 1,054 non-redundant inversions span an average ∼ 14% cv. Nipponbare reference genome sequence. Using this estimated rate 1,100 per million years in rice, which 37 to 73 times higher than previously...
