Cultivated hexaploid oat (Common oat; Avena sativa) has held a significant place within the global crop community for centuries; although its cultivation decreased over past century, nutritional benefits have garnered increased interest human consumption. We report development of fully annotated, chromosome-scale assemblies extant progenitor species As- and Cp-subgenomes, atlantica eriantha respectively. The diploid serve as important genetic resources improving common oat's adaptive food...
Rapid environmental change can lead to population extinction or evolutionary rescue. The global staple crop sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor ) has recently been threatened by a outbreak of an aggressive new biotype sugarcane aphid (SCA; Melanaphis sacchari ). We characterized genomic signatures adaptation in Haitian breeding that had rapidly adapted SCA infestation, conducting genomics analyses on 296 lines versus 767 accessions. Genome scans and geographic suggest conferred globally rare East...
The legume family originated ca. 70 million years ago and soon diversified into at least six lineages (now extant subfamilies). signal of whole genome duplications (WGD) is apparent in species sampled from all subfamilies. early diversification has posed difficulties for resolving the backbone structure timing WGDs. In this study, we report sequences annotations Cercis canadensis (Cercidoideae) Chamaecrista fasciculata (Caesalpinoideae) to help resolve relative taxonomic placements along...
Abstract Ancient whole-genome duplications (WGDs) are believed to facilitate novelty and adaptation by providing the raw fuel for new genes. However, it is unclear how recent WGDs may contribute evolvability within polyploids. Hybridization accompanying some combine divergent gene content among diploid species. Some theory evidence suggest that polyploids have a greater accumulation tolerance of presence-absence genomic structural variation, but what extent either true. To test polyploidy...
ABSTRACT Rapid environmental change can lead to extinction of populations or evolutionary rescue via genetic adaptation. In the past several years, smallholder and commercial cultivation sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor ), a global cereal forage crop, has been threatened by outbreak an aggressive new biotype sugarcane aphid (SCA; Melanaphis sacchari ). Here we characterized genomic signatures adaptation in Haitian breeding population, which had recently founded from admixed germplasm, extensively...

Overconsumption of processed foods has led to an increase in chronic diet-related diseases such obesity and type 2 diabetes. Although diets high fresh fruits vegetables are linked with healthier outcomes, the specific mechanisms for these relationships poorly understood. Experiments examining plant phytochemical production breeding programs, or separately on health effects nutritional supplements have yielded results that sparse, siloed, difficult integrate between domains human agriculture....
