Journal ArticleDOI

Shifting the limits in wheat research and breeding using a fully annotated reference genome

Rudi Appels, +207 more
- 17 Aug 2018 - 
TL;DR: This annotated reference sequence of wheat is a resource that can now drive disruptive innovation in wheat improvement, as this community resource establishes the foundation for accelerating wheat research and application through improved understanding of wheat biology and genomics-assisted breeding.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome sequencing and analysis of the model grass Brachypodium distachyon

John P. Vogel, +136 more
- 11 Feb 2010 - 
TL;DR: The high-quality genome sequence will help Brachypodium reach its potential as an important model system for developing new energy and food crops and establishes a template for analysis of the large genomes of economically important pooid grasses such as wheat.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genome of Theobroma cacao

Xavier Argout, +68 more
- 01 Feb 2011 - 
TL;DR: This work sequenced and assembled the draft genome of Theobroma cacao, an economically important tropical-fruit tree crop that is the source of chocolate, and proposed an evolutionary scenario whereby the ten T. cacao chromosomes were shaped from an ancestor through eleven chromosome fusions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ancestral grass karyotype reconstruction unravels new mechanisms of genome shuffling as a source of plant evolution

TL;DR: It was shown that the chromosome number variation/reduction from the n = 12 common paleo-ancestor was driven by nonrandom centric double-strand break repair events, and it appeared that the centromeric/telomeric illegitimate recombination between nonhomologous chromosomes led to nested chromosome fusions (NCFs) and synteny break points (SBPs).
Journal ArticleDOI

The 'inner circle' of the cereal genomes.

TL;DR: Increased marker density and genome sequencing of several cereal genomes allowed the characterization of intragenomic duplications and their integration with intergenomic colinearity data to identify paleo-duplications and propose a model for the evolution of the grass genomes from a common ancestor.
