TL;DR: The assembly of a high-quality, chromosome-scale reference genome sequence for quinoa was produced using single-molecule real-time sequencing in combination with optical, chromosomes-contact and genetic maps, which facilitated the identification of the transcription factor likely to control the production of anti-nutritional triterpenoid saponins found in quinoa seeds.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Na(+) transporter, TaHKT1;5-D, limits shoot Na(+) accumulation in bread wheat.

TL;DR: It is shown that there is potential to increase the salinity tolerance of bread wheat by manipulation of HKT1;5 genes, a candidate gene underlying the Kna1 locus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single-molecule sequencing and Hi-C-based proximity-guided assembly of amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus) chromosomes provide insights into genome evolution.
Damien J. Lightfoot,David E. Jarvis,Thiruvarangan Ramaraj,R. Lee,Eric N. Jellen,Peter J. Maughan +5 more
TL;DR: The assembly method reported here minimizes cost by relying primarily on short-read technology and is one of the first reported uses of in vivo Hi-C for assembly of a plant genome.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Genome Sequence of the Wild Tomato Solanum pimpinellifolium Provides Insights Into Salinity Tolerance.
Rozaimi Mohamad Razali,Salim Bougouffa,Mitchell J. L. Morton,Damien J. Lightfoot,Intikhab Alam,Magbubah Essack,Stefan T. Arold,Allan Anthony Kamau,Sandra M. Schmöckel,Yveline Pailles,Mohammed Shahid,Craig T. Michell,Salim Al-Babili,Yung Shwen Ho,Mark Tester,Vladimir B. Bajic,Sónia Negrão +16 more
TL;DR: The genome assembly and annotation of S. pimpinellifolium ‘LA0480’ are reported and it is indicated that changes occurring in the inositol phosphate pathway may contribute to the observed higher salinity tolerance in ‘ LA0480.’
Journal ArticleDOI
Finding Nemo’s Genes: A chromosome‐scale reference assembly of the genome of the orange clownfish Amphiprion percula
