TL;DR: The structural variations from the 2,898 accessions that were genotyped based on the graph-based genome and the RNA sequencing data from the representative 26 accessions helped to link genetic variations to candidate genes that are responsible for important traits.

TL;DR: The genome sequence of Triticum urartu, the progenitor of the A subgenome of hexaploid wheat, provides insight into genome duplication during grass evolution, and promises to facilitate the discovery of genes that could be useful for wheat improvement.

TL;DR: The de novo assembly of an indica rice genome Shuhui498 (R498) is reported through the integration of single-molecule sequencing and mapping data, genetic map and fosmid sequence tags, demonstrating how to de noovo assemble a highly contiguous and near-complete plant genome through an integrative strategy.

TL;DR: It is suggested that Tartary buckwheat's ability to tolerate high levels of abiotic stress is attributed to the expansion of several gene families involved in signal transduction, gene regulation, and membrane transport.

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a de novo domestication of wild allotetraploid rice by screening a wild rice inventory, and identified one genotype of Oryza alta (CCDD), polyploid Rice 1 (PPR1), and established two important resources for its de-no-vovo domestication: (1) an efficient tissue culture, transformation, and genome editing system and (2) a high-quality genome assembly discriminated into two subgenomes of 12 chromosomes apiece.
