Genetic Diversity and Identification of Vietnamese Species Using DNA Sequences.

is among the most popular ornamental orchid genera due to its unique slipper flowers and attractive leaf coloration. Most of the species are in critical danger due to over-exploitation. They were listed in Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, which prevents their being traded across borders.

Whole Genome Sequencing Reveals the Islands of Novel Polymorphisms in Two Native Aromatic Japonica Rice Landraces from Vietnam.

Elucidation of the rice genome will not only broaden our understanding of genetic characterization of the agronomic characteristics but also facilitate the rice genetic improvement through marker assisted breeding. However, the genome resources of aromatic rice varieties are largely unexploited. Therefore, the whole genome of two elite aromatic traditional japonica rice landraces in North Vietnam, Tam Xoan Bac Ninh (TXBN), and Tam Xoan Hai Hau (TXHH), was sequenced to identify their genome-wide polymorphisms.
