Wolfberry genome database: integrated genomic datasets for studying molecular biology.

Wolfberry, also known as goji berry or , is a highly valued fruit with significant health benefits and nutritional value. For more efficient and comprehensive usage of published genomic data, we established the Wolfberry database. The utility of the Wolfberry Genome Database (WGDB) is highlighted through the Genome browser, which enables the user to explore the genome, browse specific chromosomes, and access gene sequences.

Diploid and tetraploid genomes of Acorus and the evolution of monocots.

Monocots are a major taxon within flowering plants, have unique morphological traits, and show an extraordinary diversity in lifestyle. To improve our understanding of monocot origin and evolution, we generate chromosome-level reference genomes of the diploid Acorus gramineus and the tetraploid Ac. calamus, the only two accepted species from the family Acoraceae, which form a sister lineage to all other monocots.

OrchidBase 5.0: updates of the orchid genome knowledgebase.

Containing the largest number of species, the orchid family provides not only materials for studying plant evolution and environmental adaptation, but economically and culturally important ornamental plants for human society. Previously, we collected genome and transcriptome information of Dendrobium catenatum, Phalaenopsis equestris, and Apostasia shenzhenica which belong to two different subfamilies of Orchidaceae, and developed user-friendly tools to explore the orchid genetic sequences in the OrchidBase 4.0.

Comparative analysis of genomes data.

The data presented here are related to the article entitled "Comparative analysis of genomes reveals oomycete pathogenesis in crops" [1]. These data contain the description of genomic structure of the two plant pathogens, and and characterize several gene families associated with pathogenicity of them: P450, gene families, CAZymes and effector. This data presents the relevant results of two newly sequenced and , so as to provide data for further studies by researchers.

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of Terpene Synthase Genes in .

Terpene synthases (TPSs) are essential for forming terpenes, which play numerous functional roles in attracting pollinators, defending plants, and moderating the interaction between plants. TPSs have been reported in some orchids, but genome-wide identification of terpenes in is still lacking. In this study, 32 putative TPS genes were classified in and divided into three subfamilies (TPS-a, TPS-b, and TPS-e/f).

The Cymbidium genome reveals the evolution of unique morphological traits.

The marvelously diverse Orchidaceae constitutes the largest family of angiosperms. The genus Cymbidium in Orchidaceae is well known for its unique vegetation, floral morphology, and flower scent traits. Here, a chromosome-scale assembly of the genome of Cymbidium ensifolium (Jianlan) is presented.

R2R3-MYB genes coordinate conical cell development and cuticular wax biosynthesis in Phalaenopsis aphrodite.

Petals of the monocot Phalaenopsis aphrodite (Orchidaceae) possess conical epidermal cells on their adaxial surfaces, and a large amount of cuticular wax is deposited on them to serve as a primary barrier against biotic and abiotic stresses. It has been widely reported that subgroup 9A members of the R2R3-MYB gene family, MIXTA and MIXTA-like in eudicots, act to regulate the differentiation of conical epidermal cells. However, the molecular pathways underlying conical epidermal cell development and cuticular wax biosynthesis in monocot petals remain unclear.

Frequent germplasm exchanges drive the high genetic diversity of Chinese-cultivated common apricot germplasm.

The genetic diversity of germplasm is critical for exploring genetic and phenotypic resources and has important implications for crop-breeding sustainability and improvement. However, little is known about the factors that shape and maintain genetic diversity. Here, we assembled a high-quality chromosome-level reference of the Chinese common apricot 'Yinxiangbai', and we resequenced 180 apricot accessions that cover four major ecogeographical groups in China and other accessions from occidental countries.

Comparative analysis of genomes reveals oomycete pathogenesis in crops.

The oomycete genus includes devastating plant pathogens that are found in almost all ecosystems. We sequenced the genomes of two quarantined species- and . Comparing these species and related genera allowed reconstruction of the phylogenetic relationships within the genus and revealed genomic features associated with infection and pathogenicity.

The genome sheds light on the evolution of magnoliids.

Lauraceae includes the genus , and the family is linked to the evolution of magnoliids. We sequenced the genome of Nanmu. The assembled genome size was 989.

Phytochemical management of root knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) kofoid and white chitwood by Artemisia spp. in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.).

In vitro and screen house experiments were conducted to investigate the effectiveness of thirteen phytochemicals from Artemisia elegantissimia and A. incisa on root knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) cv.

Infection of Plasmodiophora brassicae changes the fungal endophyte community of tumourous stem mustard roots as revealed by high-throughput sequencing and culture-dependent methods.

Diverse fungal endophytes live in plants and are shaped by some abiotic and biotic stresses. Plant disease as particular biotic stress possibly gives an impact on the communities of fungal endophytes. In this study, clubroot disease caused by an obligate biotroph protist, Plasmodiophora brassicae, was considered to analyze its influence on the fungal endophyte community using an internal transcribed spacer (ITS) through high-throughput sequencing and culture-dependent methods.

Fine mapping of the tomato yellow leaf curl virus resistance gene - on chromosome 11 of tomato.

Resistances to begomoviruses, including bipartite tomato mottle virus and monopartite tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), have been introgressed to cultivated tomato () from wild tomato accessions. A major gene, - from f. accession "B6013 that confers resistance to TYLCV was previously mapped to a 19-cM region on the long arm of chromosome 11.
