TL;DR: It is shown that an abrupt five- to sixfold ploidy increase approximately 60 million years (Myr) ago, and allopolyploidy reuniting divergent Gossypium genomes approximately 1–2 Myr ago, conferred about 30–36-fold duplication of ancestral angiosperm genes in elite cottons, genetic complexity equalled only by Brassica among sequenced angiosperms.

TL;DR: Amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus L.) is an emerging pseudocereal native to the New World that has garnered increased attention in recent years because of its nutritional quality, in particular its seed protein and more specifically its high levels of the essential amino acid lysine.

TL;DR: The functionality of PolyCat is demonstrated on allotetraploid cotton, Gossypium hirsutum, and a functional SNP index for efficiently mapping sequence reads to the D-genome sequence of G. raimondii is created.

TL;DR: Comparisons of methylomes of 34 diverse angiosperm species show that DNA methylation patterns are broadly a reflection of the evolutionary and life histories of plant species.

TL;DR: Targeted sequence capture of multiple loci in conjunction with both concatenated and Bayesian concordance analyses are used to reevaluate the phylogeny of allopolyploid cotton species and provide robust support for the Gossypium polyploid clade.
