Next generation sequencing holds great promise for applications of phylogeography,
landscape genetics, and population genomics in wild populations of nonmodel species, but the …

Tocopherols, tocotrienols, and plastochromanols (collectively termed tocochromanols) are
lipid-soluble antioxidants synthesized by all plants. Their dietary intake, primarily from seed …

• Premise of the study: RNA‐seq analysis of plant transcriptomes poses unique challenges
due to the highly duplicated nature of plant genomes. We address these challenges in the …

Successful management and utilization of increasingly large genomic datasets is essential
for breeding programs to accelerate cultivar development. To help with this, we developed a …

Vitamin A deficiency remains prevalent in parts of Asia, Latin America, and sub-Saharan
Africa where maize (Zea mays) is a food staple. Extensive natural variation exists for …

Background The Floral Genome Project was initiated to bridge the genomic gap between the
most broadly studied plant model systems. Arabidopsis and rice, although now completely …

Background The majority of commercial cotton varieties planted worldwide are derived from
Gossypium hirsutum, which is a naturally occurring allotetraploid produced by interspecific …

Key message Discovery of new germplasm sources and identification of haplotypes for the
durable Soybean mosaic virus resistance gene, Rsv 4, provide novel resources for map-…

The fragility of a single-source, geographically concentrated supply of natural rubber, a critical
material of the modern economy, has brought guayule (Parthenium argentatum A. Gray) …

Repetitive sequences have been used for DNA fingerprinting and genotyping for more than
a quarter century. Now, with our knowledge of whole genome sequences, repetitive …
