The giant genome of lily provides insights into the hybridization of cultivated lilies
Nature CommunicationsLilies are economically important monocots known for their ornamental flowers, bulbs, and large genomes. The absence of their genomic information has impeded evolutionary studies and genome-based breeding efforts.

Seed potato quality improvement through positive selection by smallholder farmers in Kenya [PDF]
, 2011 In Kenya, seed potato quality is often a major yield constraint in potato production as smallholder farmers use farm-saved seed without proper management of seed-borne pests and diseases. Farm-saved seed is therefore often highly degenerated.
