Legumes are the third largest family of angiosperms and second most important crop class. Legume genomes have been shaped by extensive large-scale gene duplications, including an approximately 58 million year old whole genome duplication shared legumes.
The avocado, Persea americana, is a fruit crop of immense importance to Mexican agriculture with an increasing demand worldwide. Avocado lies in the anciently diverged magnoliid clade angiosperms, which has controversial phylogenetic position relative eudicots and monocots. We sequenced nuclear genomes avocado race, P. americana var. drymifolia, most commercially popular hybrid cultivar, Hass, anchored latter chromosomes using genetic map. Resequencing Guatemalan West Indian varieties...
Modern civilization depends on only a few plant species for its nourishment. These crops were derived via several thousands of years human selection that transformed wild ancestors into high-yielding domesticated descendants. Among cultivated plants, common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important grain legume. Yet, our understanding origins and concurrent shaping genome this crop limited. We sequenced genomes 29 accessions representing 12 Phaseolus species. Single nucleotide...
Scorpion venoms have been studied for decades, leading to the identification of hundreds different toxins with medical and pharmacological implications. However, little emphasis has given description these arthropods from cellular evolutionary perspectives. In this report, we describe a transcriptomic analysis Mexican scorpion Centruroides noxius Hoffmann, performed pyrosequencing platform. Three independent sequencing experiments were carried out, each including three cDNA libraries...
Abstract Speciation, the continuous process by which new species form, is often investigated looking at variation of nucleotide diversity and differentiation across genome (hereafter genomic landscapes). A key challenge lies in how to determine main evolutionary forces play shaping these patterns. One promising strategy, albeit little used date, comparatively investigate landscapes as progression through time using a series pairs along divergence gradient. Here, we resequenced 201...
Understanding local adaptation has become a key research area given the ongoing climate challenge and concomitant requirement to conserve genetic resources. Perennial plants, such as forest trees, are good models study their wide geographic distribution, largely outcrossing mating systems, demographic histories. We evaluated signatures of in European aspen (Populus tremula) across Europe by means whole-genome resequencing collection 411 individual trees. dissected admixture patterns between...
The common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L) is the most important legume for human consumption, contributing 30% of total daily protein intake in developing countries. A major limitation its cultivation drought, which causes more than 60% annual losses. Among physiological adaptations to delaying senescence and extending photosynthetic capacity can improve crop productivity. This strategy known as functional “ stay-green ” (SG) has been discussed a goal plant breeding alleviate loss yield under...
Abstract Aspen ( Populus tremula L.) is a keystone species and model system for forest tree genomics. We present an updated resource comprising chromosome‐scale assembly, population genetics genomics data. Using the resource, we explore genetic basis of natural variation in leaf size shape, traits with complex architecture. generated genome assembly using long‐read sequencing, optical high‐density maps. conducted whole‐genome resequencing Umeå (UmAsp) collection. re‐sequencing data from...
Secondary metabolites related to plant defense against natural enemies and enzymes involved in their biosynthesis vary during gall development. We assessed the differential gene expression defensive cynipid wasp galls of Quercus castanea induced by Amphibolips michoacaensis throughout assembled de nov o transcriptomes from three phases growth compared phenolic-related genes. found that (1) Phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) enzyme genes were upregulated at intermediate late stages. (2)...
Abstract Aspen ( Populus tremula L.) is a widely distributed keystone species and model system for forest tree genomics, with extensive resources developed population genetics genomics. Here we present an updated resource comprising chromosome-scale assembly of P. genomics data integrated into the PlantGenIE.org web resource. We demonstrate use diverse types included to explore genetic basis natural variation in leaf size shape as examples traits complex architecture. genome generated using...
Abstract Background Entering and exiting winter dormancy present important trade-offs between growth survival at northern latitudes. Many forest trees display local adaptation across latitude in traits associated with these phenology transitions. Transfers of a species outside its native range introduce the to novel combinations environmental conditions potentially requiring different alleles optimize survival. In this study, we performed genome wide association analyses selection scan P....
Integrating the information provided by different lines of evidence generated in previous studies, Phaseolus debouckii, a new species is described and illustrated. This occurs only central-southern Ecuador north western Peru, mostly what known as Amatope-Huancabamba Depression, represents sister to vulgaris L. A comparison table with quantitative qualitative morphological characters given, well distribution map ecological information.
Sequencing the giga-genomes of several pine species has enabled comparative genomic analyses these outcrossing tree species. Previous studies have revealed wide distribution and extraordinary diversity transposable elements (TEs) that occupy large intergenic spaces in conifer genomes. In this study, we analyzed TEs gene regions assembled genomes Pinus taeda lambertiana using high-performance computing resources. The quality draft genome annotation significant consequences for investigation...

Abstract The capacity to flower under long days has been a major pre-requisite for the adaptation of common bean European climates. complexity such studied, mostly optics QTL mapping, but still genetic basis trait remains elusive. In current study we sequenced collection >200 accessions P. vulgaris Mesoamerican, Andean and origin, which flowering during summer season in Sweden was evaluated. Our variant calling strategy allowed us identify 16.9e 6 SNPs 38.6e 3 structural variants....

Abstract Background: Sequencing the giga-genomes of several pine species belonging to ancient gymnosperm clade has enabled comparative genomic analyses these widely distributed outcrossing tree species. Initial sequence studies have revealed wide distribution and extraordinary diversity transposable elements (TEs) that occupy large intergenic spaces.
