Premise Whole‐genome duplications (WGDs) are prevalent throughout the evolutionary history of plants. For example, dozens WGDs have been phylogenetically localized across order Brassicales, specifically, within family Brassicaceae. A WGD event has also identified in Cleomaceae, sister to Brassicaceae, yet its placement, as well that other families order, remains unclear. Methods Phylo‐transcriptomic data were generated and used infer a nuclear phylogeny for 74 Brassicales taxa. Genome survey...
Photoperiodic changes in diel cycles of gene expression are pervasive plants. Timing circadian regulators together with light signals regulate multiple photoperiod dependent responses such as growth, flowering or tuber formation. However, for most genes the importance cyclic mRNA levels is less clear. We analyzed transcriptome modern cultivated potato, a highly heterozygous autotetraploid. Clonal propagation and limited meiosis have led to accumulation deleterious alleles therefore...
Abstract Mitragyna speciosa (kratom) produces numerous compounds with pharmaceutical properties including the production of bioactive monoterpene indole and oxindole alkaloids. Using a linked-read approach, 1,122,519,462 bp draft assembly M. “Rifat” was generated an N50 scaffold size 1,020,971 contig 70,448 that encodes 55,746 genes. Chromosome counting revealed is tetraploid base chromosome number 11, which further corroborated by orthology syntenic analysis genome. Analysis genes clusters...
Abstract Genome sizes of plants have long piqued the interest researchers due to vast differences among organisms. However, mechanisms that drive size yet be fully understood. Two important contributing factors genome are expansions repetitive elements, such as transposable elements (TEs), and whole-genome duplications (WGD). Although studies found correlations between both TE abundance polyploidy, these typically test for patterns within a genus or species. The plant order Brassicales...
Salvia hispanica L. (Chia), a member of the Lamiaceae, is an economically important crop in Mesoamerica, with health benefits associated its seed fatty acid composition. Chia varieties are distinguished based on color including mixed white and black (Chia pinta) negra). To facilitate research expand comparative analyses within we generated chromosome-scale assembly pinta accession performed genome previously published negra assembly. The sequences were highly similar as shown by limited...
Access to broad genomic resources and closely linked marker-trait associations for common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) can facilitate development of improved varieties with increased yield, market quality traits, enhanced disease resistance. The emergence virulent races anthracnose (caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum) bean mosaic virus (BCMV) highlight the need methods identify incorporate pan-genomic variation in breeding We sequenced P. Andean Diversity Panel (ADP) performed a...
Potato is a key food crop with complex, polyploid genome. Advancements in sequencing technologies coupled improvements genome assembly algorithms have enabled generation of phased, chromosome-scale assemblies for cultivated tetraploid potato. The SpudDB database houses potato sequence and annotation, the doubled monoploid DM 1-3 516 R44 (hereafter DM) serving as reference haplotype. Diverse annotation data types genes are provided through suite Gene Report Pages including gene expression...
Abstract In C 4 plants, the enzymatic machinery underpinning photosynthesis can vary, with, for example, three distinct acid decarboxylases being used to release CO 2 in vicinity of RuBisCO. For decades, these have been classify species into biochemical sub‐types. However, more recently, notion that mix and match has increased popularity, as a consequence, validity specific sub‐types questioned. Using five from grass tribe Paniceae, we show that, although some transcripts enzymes involved...

However, while its sister family, Cleomaceae, has also characterized by a WGD, placement, as well that other WGD events in families order, remains unclear.

Abstract Limited genomic resources and closely linked marker-trait associations for common beans ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) have limited breeders from fully utilizing molecular genetics technologies to maximize genetic gain.

SUMMARY The Lamiaceae (mint family) is the largest known source of furanoclerodanes, a subset clerodane diterpenoids with broad bioactivities including insect antifeedant properties. Ajugoideae subfamily, in particular, accumulates significant numbers structurally related furanoclerodanes. biosynthetic capacity for formation these retained across most subfamilies, early-diverging Callicarpoideae which forms sister clade to rest Lamiaceae.
