Feral plants have been known since the inception of modern agriculture, but the genetic changes during what seemed to be a simple reversion of a domesticated form are poorly understood. Recent studies, revealing the changes occurring in weedy rice, show an unexpected degree of differentiation in these feral escapes.

Hybrid potato breeding based on diploid inbred lines is transforming the way of genetic improvement of this staple food crop, which requires a deep understanding of potato domestication and differentiation. Here, we resequenced 314 diploid wild and landrace accessions to generate a variome map of 47,203,407 variants. Using the variome map, we discovered the reshaping of tuber transcriptome during potato domestication, characterized genome-wide differentiation between landrace groups Stenotomum and Phureja, and identified a jasmonic acid biosynthetic gene possibly affecting tuber dormancy period.

UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) constitute the largest glycosyltransferase family in the plant kingdom. They are responsible for transferring sugar moieties onto various small molecules to control many metabolic processes. However, their physiological significance in plants is largely unknown.

Plants have large amounts of the late embryogenesis abundant protein (LEA) family of proteins, which is involved in osmotic regulation. The Korla Pear () is an uncommon pear species that thrives in Xinjiang and can survive below-freezing conditions. We found that the gene was more expressed after cold treatment by looking at the transcriptome data of the Korla Pear.

This research follows the principles of circular economy through the zero waste concept and cascade approach performed in two steps. Our paper focuses on the first step and explores the characteristics of developed biocomposite materials made from a biodegradable poly(lactic acid) polymer (PLA) reinforced with natural fibers isolated from the second generation of biomass (agricultural biomass and weeds).
