Abstract The C4 photosynthesis includes intriguing leaf anatomies. The current model supports the placement of C3‐C4 intermediates as a middle point in the evolutionary trajectory from C3 to C4 photosynthesis. The known determinants involved in the differentiation of divergent photosynthetic leaves arose from the comparative analysis between both ends,

Background Salmonid fishes exhibit high levels of phenotypic and ecological variation and are thus ideal model systems for studying evolutionary processes of adaptive divergence and speciation.

Abstract Oxalis oulophora, a diploid species closely related to the octoploid Andean tuber crop oca (Oxalis tuberosa), was selected for whole‐genome sequencing to aid in understanding the origins of polyploidy and domestication in oca and its relatives (crop wild relatives).

Abstract Cupuassu (Theobroma grandiflorum) is a fruit tree native to the Brazilian Amazon and increasingly relevant to regional bioeconomies. Its cultivation is severely affected by witches’ broom disease (WBD), caused by Moniliophthora perniciosa. While a chromosome‐scale genome of the susceptible genotype C1074 is available, the lack of a resistant ...

Abstract Northern Wild Rice (NWR; Zizania palustris L.) is an aquatic grain endemic to North America and a member of the Oryzeae tribe. As an outcrossing crop with a short breeding history, domestication progress in cultivated NWR (cNWR) is ongoing, and seed shattering remains a major barrier to yield stability.

Population structure in a fungal human pathogen is potentially linked to pathogenicity
Aspergillus flavus is a clinically and agriculturally important saprotrophic fungus responsible for severe human infections and extensive crop losses. Here, we analyze genomic data from 300 (117 clinical and 183 environmental) A.
