TL;DR: The T. urartu genome assembly provides a diploid reference for analysis of polyploid wheat genomes and is a valuable resource for the genetic improvement of wheat.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the four Ib subgroup bHLH proteins are required and possess redundant functions with differential significance for activation of iron-deficiency responses and uptake in Arabidopsis.

TL;DR: This work systematically identified SlbHLH genes by analyzing the tomato genome sequence using a set of bioinformatics approaches, and characterized their chromosomal distribution, gene structures, duplication, phylogenetic relationship and expression profiles, as well predicted their possible biological functions via comparative analysis with bHLHs of Arabidopsis.

TL;DR: A systematic molecular analysis of LMW-GS genes located at the orthologous Glu-3 loci of bread wheat and molecular genetic evidence suggesting that these genes contribute quantitatively to bread-making quality in hexaploid wheat is reported.

TL;DR: The allelic sequences of LR1RGA1 from resistant and susceptible lines revealed a divergent DNA sequence block of ∼605 bp encoding the LRR repeats 9–15, whereas the rest of the sequences were mostly identical, which indicates that Lr1 likely evolved through one or more recombination or gene conversion events with unknown genes.
