Reproductive development of common buckwheat ( Moench) and its wild relatives provides insights into their evolutionary biology.

Introduction: Understanding the complex inflorescence architecture and developmental morphology of common buckwheat () is crucial for crop yield. However, most published descriptions of early flower and inflorescence development in Polygonaceae are based on light microscopy and often documented by line drawings. In and many other Polygonaceae, an important inflorescence module is the thyrse, in which the primary axis never terminates in a flower and lateral cymes (monochasia) produce successively developing flowers of several orders.

Hybridization with Meisn. as a way to make cultivated Tartary buckwheat ( Gaertn.) with grain characteristics typical for common buckwheat ( Moench.).

Compared to common buckwheat (), Tartary buckwheat () is very polymorphic in the type of seeds, but a seed type which is typical for , i.e. triangular seeds with flat sides and clear ribs, has been not found among the polymorphism.

High-Resolution Transcriptome Atlas and Improved Genome Assembly of Common Buckwheat, .

Common buckwheat () is an important non-cereal grain crop and a prospective component of functional food. Despite this, the genomic resources for this species and for the whole family Polygonaceae, to which it belongs, are scarce. Here, we report the assembly of the buckwheat genome using long-read technology and a high-resolution expression atlas including 46 organs and developmental stages.

Mitochondrial Genome of and the Genetic Diversity of Extranuclear Genomes in Buckwheat.

(common buckwheat) is an important agricultural non-cereal grain plant. Despite extensive genetic studies, the information on its mitochondrial genome is still lacking. Using long reads generated by single-molecule real-time technology coupled with circular consensus sequencing (CCS) protocol, we assembled the buckwheat mitochondrial genome and detected that its prevalent form consists of 10 circular chromosomes with a total length of 404 Kb.
