The genetic architecture of quantitative traits is determined by both Mendelian and polygenic factors, yet classic examples plant domestication focused on selective sweep newly mutated genes. Here we report the chromosome-level genome assembly genomic investigation a nonclassic example, bitter gourd ( Momordica charantia ), an important Asian vegetable medicinal family Cucurbitaceae. Population resequencing revealed divergence between wild South cultivars about 6,000 y ago, followed...
Domestication is the long and complex process underlying evolution of crops, in which artificial directional selection transformed wild progenitors into desired form, affecting genomic variation leaving traces at targeted loci. However, whether genes controlling important domestication traits follow same evolutionary pattern expected under standard selective sweep model remains unclear. With whole-genome resequencing mungbean (Vigna radiata), we investigated this issue by resolving its...
Abstract Domestication and improvement are two crucial processes underlying the evolution of crops. transformed wild plants into a utilizable form for humans; refined cultivars adapting to distinct environments local preferences. Using whole-genome re-sequencing Vigna radiata , we investigated demographic history compared genetic footprints domestication improvement. The Asian population migrated Australia at about 50 kya, happened in Asia 9 kya selecting non-shattering pods. key candidate...
Abstract Bitter gourd ( Momordica charantia ) is a vegetable and medicinal plant of the family Cucurbitaceae. Here we report chromosome-level assembly, with highest contig N50 (close to 10 Mb) proportion sequences placed on chromosomes (96%) in Population resequencing revealed divergence between wild cultivars at about 6000 years ago. Different cultivar groups have distinct allelic compositions loci associated domestication traits, suggesting phenotypic changes were achieved by allele...
