Article Synopsis
- - Generated a comprehensive genetic assembly for 27 distinct
- Citrullus
- genotypes, expanding the previous reference genome by adding significant DNA and thousands of genes, showcasing enhanced genetic diversity.
- - Conducted comparative analysis revealing gene variants and structural changes, contributing to the understanding of watermelon evolution and traits like sweetness and bitterness, while also impacting disease resistance.
- - Successfully integrated disease-resistant genes from wild species (
- Citrullus amarus
- and
- Citrullus mucosospermus
- ) into cultivated watermelon (
- Citrullus lanatus
- ), providing new insights into watermelon genetics and potential for genetic improvement.
Wheat stripe rust is one of the most destructive diseases to affect wheat. Although the major resistant wheat varieties have made a great contribution to global food security, yield losses from stripe rust still occur in large wheat growing areas when climatic conditions are unstable. Despite this threat, resistance levels and yield losses of these elite wheat cultivars under wheat stripe rust infection have not been well studied.
