Potato is the fourth most important food crop in the world. Although with a long history for breeding approaches, genomic information and association between genes and agronomic traits remain largely unknown particularly in autotetraploid potato cultivars, which limit the molecular breeding progression. By resequencing the genome of 108 main cultivar potato accessions with rich genetic diversity and population structure from International Potato Center, with approximate 20-fold coverage, we revealed more than 27 million Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms and ~ 3 million Insertion and Deletions with high quality and accuracy.

The CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)-associated protein 9 (Cas9) system is a powerful tool for targeted genome editing, with applications that include plant biotechnology and functional genomics research. However, the specificity of Cas9 targeting is poorly investigated in many plant species, including fruit trees. To assess the off-target mutation rate in grapevine (Vitis vinifera), we performed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of seven Cas9-edited grapevine plants in which one of two genes was targeted by CRISPR/Cas9 and three wild-type (WT) plants.

Ginkgo biloba is a dioecious species native to China with medicinally and phylogenetically important characteristics; however, genomic resources for this species are limited. In this study, we performed the first transcriptome sequencing for Ginkgo kernels at five time points using Illumina paired-end sequencing. Approximately 25.

Premise Of The Study: A set of microsatellite markers for Camellia chekiangoleosa was developed and characterized using 454 sequencing technology to study the population genetic structure and the diversity of germplasm collections.

Methods And Results: Eighteen polymorphic microsatellite markers were identified and tested in 150 individuals from three natural populations of C. chekiangoleosa.
