TL;DR: The Coffea canephora (coffee) genome was sequenced and identified a conserved gene order, and comparative analyses of caffeine NMTs demonstrate that these genes expanded through sequential tandem duplications independently of genes from cacao and tea, suggesting that caffeine in eudicots is of polyphyletic origin.

TL;DR: This paper inferred the cradle of African rice domestication to be in the Inner Niger Delta Domestication was preceded by a sharp decline of most wild populations that started more than 10,000 years ago The wild population collapse occurred during the drying of the Sahara.

TL;DR: In this paper, two reciprocal suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) libraries were constructed from oil palm embryogenic cell suspensions: one in which embryo development was blocked by the presence of the synthetic auxin analogue 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4)-d) in the medium (proliferation library); and another in which cells were stimulated to form embryos by the removal of 2, 4-d-d from the medium(initiation library).

TL;DR: The Coffee Genome Hub is developed, an integrative genome information system that allows centralized access to genomics and genetics data and analysis tools to facilitate translational and applied research in coffee.

TL;DR: These findings finally confirmed the importance of LGM rainforest refugia in shaping the current intra‐ and interspecific diversity in New Caledonian plants and revealed the possibility of an as yet unreported refugium.
