Genome-Wide SNP and Indel Discovery in Abaca ( Née) and among Other spp. for Abaca Genetic Resources Management.

Abaca ( Née) is an economically important fiber crop in the Philippines. Its economic potential, however, is hampered by biotic and abiotic stresses, which are exacerbated by insufficient genomic resources for varietal identification vital for crop improvement. To address these gaps, this study aimed to discover genome-wide polymorphisms among abaca cultivars and other species and analyze their potential as genetic marker resources.

Sequencing and de Novo Assembly of Abaca ( Née) var. Abuab Genome.

Abaca ( Née), an indigenous crop to the Philippines, is known to be the source of the strongest natural fiber. Despite its huge economic contributions, research on crop improvement is limited due to the lack of genomic data. In this study, the whole genome of the abaca var.
