Genome assembly and population genomic analysis reveal the genetic basis of popcorn evolution
Summary Popcorn, one of the world's most popular snack foods, represents the most ancient type of maize domesticated by humans. However, the genetic basis underlying popcorn evolution and kernel‐popping traits remains largely unknown. In this study, we assembled a high‐quality genome sequence of the popcorn landrace Strawberry Popcorn (SP) and ...

Genetic Mapping of the Powdery Mildew Resistance Gene Pm13 on Oat (Avena sativa) Chromosome 1D
ABSTRACT Powdery mildew, caused by the biotrophic fungus Blumeria graminis DC. f. sp. avenae, is a widespread disease of oats, especially in the temperate regions of Western and Central Europe, and the use of resistant varieties is the most sustainable way to ensure stable yields.

ABSTRACT Disease resistance traits are complex and quantitative in nature. Breeders regularly evaluate multiple important traits across diverse environments to employ them in genomics‐assisted breeding. In this study, we evaluated the prospects of genomic prediction models by incorporating genome‐wide association study (GWAS) results into single‐trait ...

ABSTRACT Quinoa is a grain crop with excellent nutritional properties that has attracted global attention for its potential contribution to future food security in a changing climate. Despite its long history of cultivation, quinoa has been improved little by modern breeding and is a niche crop outside its native cultivation area.

ABSTRACT Grain size is an important factor affecting quinoa yield, and studying the molecular mechanism of quinoa grain size formation is of great significance for cultivar selection. In this study, we analysed phenotypic traits, conducted RNA sequencing and proteomic detection during grain filling in different developmental stages.
