Ancient Duplication and Lineage-Specific Transposition Determine Evolutionary Trajectory of Subfamily across Angiosperms.

/ transcription factor family plays an important role in plant development and stress responses. Previous studies have shed light on the evolutionary trajectory of the and subfamilies. However, knowledge about the evolutionary history of the subfamily in angiosperms still remains limited.

Genome size variation and polyploidy prevalence in the genus are associated with the global dispersal in arid area.

Background: Biologists have long debated the drivers of the genome size evolution and variation ever since Darwin. Assumptions for the adaptive or maladaptive consequences of the associations between genome sizes and environmental factors have been proposed, but the significance of these hypotheses remains controversial. is a large genus in the grass family and is often used as crop or forage during the dry seasons.

SMRT sequencing of the Oryza rufipogon genome reveals the genomic basis of rice adaptation.

Asian cultivated rice is believed to have been domesticated from a wild progenitor, Oryza rufipogon, offering promising sources of alleles for world rice improvement. Here we first present a high-quality chromosome-scale genome of the typical O. rufipogon.

The Chromosome-Based Rubber Tree Genome Provides New Insights into Spurge Genome Evolution and Rubber Biosynthesis.

The rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis, produces natural rubber that serves as an essential industrial raw material. Here, we present a high-quality reference genome for a rubber tree cultivar GT1 using single-molecule real-time sequencing (SMRT) and Hi-C technologies to anchor the ∼1.47-Gb genome assembly into 18 pseudochromosomes.
