The solitary bee Osmia excavata (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) is a key pollinator managed on a large scale. It has been widely used for commercial pollination of fruit trees, vegetables, and other crops with high efficiency in increasing the crop seeding rate, yield, and seed quality in Northern hemisphere. Here, a high-quality chromosome-level genome of O.

Article Synopsis
  • Flower type in chrysanthemums is complex, influenced primarily by the corolla tube merged degree (CTMD) and relative number of ray florets (RNRF), with limited research on their inheritance affecting breeding efforts.
  • A study involving 305 F hybrids identified three major quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for CTMD and four for RNRF, utilizing high-density genetic mapping techniques.
  • The research also examined genetic relationships with other Compositae species and found eight annotated genes in key QTL areas, providing insights for molecular breeding and candidate gene identification in chrysanthemums.

Linkage maps enable the study of important biological questions. The construction of high-density linkage maps appears more feasible since the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS), which eases SNP discovery and high-throughput genotyping of large population. However, the marker number explosion and genotyping errors from NGS data challenge the computational efficiency and linkage map quality of linkage study methods.

Background: The genetics and molecular biology of sesame has only recently begun to be studied even though sesame is an important oil seed crop. A high-density genetic map for sesame has not been published yet due to a lack of sufficient molecular markers. Specific length amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-seq) is a recently developed high-resolution strategy for large-scale de novo SNP discovery and genotyping.
