Scott Jackson, Jeremy Schmutz, Phillip McClean and colleagues report the genome sequence of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) resequenced wild individuals landraces from Mesoamerican Andean gene pools, showing that underwent two independent domestications. Common vulgaris L.) is most important grain legume for human consumption has a role in sustainable agriculture owing to its ability fix atmospheric nitrogen. We assembled 473 Mb 587-Mb genetically anchored 98% this 11 chromosome-scale...
The genus Citrus, comprising some of the most widely cultivated fruit crops worldwide, includes an uncertain number species. Here we describe ten natural citrus species, using genomic, phylogenetic and biogeographic analyses 60 accessions representing diverse germ plasms, propose that diversified during late Miocene epoch through a rapid southeast Asian radiation correlates with marked weakening monsoons. A second enabled by migration across Wallace line gave rise to Australian limes in...
Genome sequences of nine species citrus, including oranges, pummelos and mandarins, reveal pathways domestication provide resources for breeding. Cultivated citrus are selections from, or hybrids of, wild progenitor whose identities contributions to remain controversial. Here we sequence compare genomes—a high-quality reference haploid clementine genome mandarin, pummelo, sweet-orange sour-orange genomes—and show that cultivated types derive from two species. Although represent one species,...
For comparison of whole-genome (genic + nongenic) sequences, multiple sequence alignment a few selected genes is not appropriate. One approach to use an alignment-free method in which feature (or l-mer) frequency profiles (FFP) whole genomes are used for comparison-a variation text or book method, using word profiles. In this it critical identify the optimal resolution range l-mers given set compared. The optimum FFP applicable comparing large genomic regions even when there no common with...
Long-term climate change and periodic environmental extremes threaten food fuel security1 global crop productivity2-4. Although molecular adaptive breeding strategies can buffer the effects of climatic stress improve resilience5, these approaches require sufficient knowledge genes that underlie productivity adaptation6-knowledge has been limited to a small number well-studied model systems. Here we present assembly annotation large complex genome polyploid bioenergy switchgrass (Panicum...
We present a whole-proteome phylogeny of prokaryotes constructed by comparing feature frequency profiles (FFPs) whole proteomes. Features are l-mers amino acids, and each organism is represented profile frequencies all features. The selection length critical in the FFP method, we have developed procedure for identifying optimal lengths inferring prokaryotes, strictly speaking, proteome phylogeny. Our trees with proteomes 884 16 unicellular eukaryotes, 2 random sequences. To highlight...
How do proteins fold so quickly? Some denatured to their native structures in only microseconds, on average, implying that there is a folding "mechanism," i.e., particular set of events by which the protein short-circuits broader conformational search. Predicting using atomically detailed physical models currently challenging. The most definitive proof putative mechanism would be whether it speeds up structure prediction models. In zipping and assembly (ZA) mechanism, local structuring...
Abstract Miscanthus is a perennial wild grass that of global importance for paper production, roofing, horticultural plantings, and an emerging highly productive temperate biomass crop. We report chromosome-scale assembly the paleotetraploid M. sinensis genome, providing resource links its chromosomes to related diploid Sorghum complex polyploid sugarcanes. The asymmetric distribution transposons across two homoeologous subgenomes proves paleo-allotetraploidy identifies several balanced...
SUMMARY Trifoliate orange ( Poncirus trifoliata ), a deciduous close relative of evergreen Citrus , has important traits for citrus production, including tolerance/resistance to greening disease (Huanglongbing, HLB) and other major diseases, cold tolerance. It been one the most rootstocks, valuable sources resistance tolerance genes citrus. Here we present high‐quality, chromosome‐scale genome assembly P. . The 264.9‐Mb contains nine chromosomal pseudomolecules with 25 538 protein‐coding...
A pan-genome is the nonredundant collection of genes and/or DNA sequences in a species. Numerous studies have shown that plant pan-genomes are typically much larger than genome any individual and sizable fraction present only some genomes. The construction interpretation challenging due to large size repetitive content Most largely focused on nontransposable element protein coding because they more easily analyzed defined noncoding sequences. Nevertheless, play important roles determining...
Abstract The origin and dispersal of cultivated wild mandarin related citrus are poorly understood. Here, comparative genome analysis 69 new east Asian genomes other mainland reveals a previously unrecognized sexual species native to the Ryukyu Islands: C. ryukyuensis sp. nov. taxonomic complexity mandarins then collapses satisfying simplicity, accounting for tachibana, shiikuwasha, traditional Ryukyuan types as homoploid hybrid formed by combining with various mandarins. These reproduce...
Ten complete mammalian genome sequences were compared by using the "feature frequency profile" (FFP) method of alignment-free comparison. This comparison technique reveals that whole nongenic portion genomes contains evolutionary information is similar to their genic counterparts--the intron and exon regions. We partitioned mammals (such as human, chimp, horse, mouse) into constituent nongenic, intronic, exonic components. Phylogenic species trees constructed for each individual component...
The vast sequence divergence among different virus groups has presented a great challenge to alignment-based comparison families. Using an alignment-free method, we construct the whole-proteome phylogeny for population of viruses from 11 viral families comprising 142 large dsDNA eukaryote viruses. method is based on feature frequency profiles (FFP), where length (l-mer) selected be optimal phylogenomic inference. We observe that (i) FFP segregates into clades, membership each remarkable...

The energy (EMS) structure optimization in terms economic stable operation proposed. Optimization problem from grid EMS resolved by...
From noble beginnings as a prospective forage, polyploid Sorghum halepense ( 'Johnsongrass') is both an invasive species and one of the world's worst agricultural weeds. Formed by S. bicolor x propinquum hybridization, we show to have bicolor-enriched allele composition striking mutations in 5,957 genes that differentiate it from representatives its progenitor outgroup. The spread may been facilitated introgression closely-related cultivated sorghum near genetic loci affecting rhizome...
Rapid advancements in technologies provide various tools to analyze fruit crop genomes better understand genetic diversity and relationships aid breeding. Genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping arrays offer highly multiplexed assays at a relatively low cost per data point. We report the development validation of 1.4M SNP Axiom® Citrus HD Genotyping Array (Citrus 15AX 1 2) 58K Arrays for close relatives. SNPs represented were chosen from citrus variant discovery panel...
Abstract Ginkgo biloba is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine containing multiple components that contribute to its notable bioactivities. Variations of seasonal, meteorological and planting soil on the phytochemicals contents in G. leaves due effects growth parameters were investigated this study. The collected from different months place Zhejiang province, flavones (quercetin, kaempferol isorhamnetin) terpene lactones (bilobalide, ginkgolides A, B C) quantified by high performance liquid...
