Journal ArticleDOI

Pearl millet genome sequence provides a resource to improve agronomic traits in arid environments

Rajeev K. Varshney, +69 more
- 18 Sep 2017 - 
TL;DR: This work resequenced and analyzed 994 pearl millet lines, enabling insights into population structure, genetic diversity and domestication, and establishes marker trait associations for genomic selection, to define heterotic pools, and to predict hybrid performance.
Journal ArticleDOI

A western Sahara centre of domestication inferred from pearl millet genomes.

TL;DR: The results supported an origin in western Sahara, and the onset of cultivated pearl millet expansion in Africa to 4,900 years ago, and provided evidence that wild-to-crop gene flow increased cultivated genetic diversity leading to diversity hotspots in western and eastern Sahel and adaptive introgression of 15 genomic regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

An efficient RNA-seq-based segregation analysis identifies the sex chromosomes of Cannabis sativa.

TL;DR: This study RNA-sequenced a C. sativa family and identified >500 sex-linked genes and revealed that old plant sex chromosomes can have large, highly divergent nonrecombining regions, yet still be roughly homomorphic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome scan reveals selection acting on genes linked to stress response in wild pearl millet

TL;DR: This study identified climate adaptations in wild pearl millet populations in Mali and Niger using a two‐step strategy to limit false‐positive outliers and combined four methods to identify outlier SNPs from a set of 87 218 high‐quality SNPs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular basis of African yam domestication: analyses of selection point to root development, starch biosynthesis, and photosynthesis related genes

TL;DR: The molecular basis of domestication in African yam, Dioscorea rotundata is studied, finding major rewiring of aerial development and adaptation for efficient photosynthesis in full light characterized yam domestication.
