TL;DR: A high-quality draft of the genome sequence of grapevine is obtained from a highly homozygous genotype, revealing the contribution of three ancestral genomes to the grapevine haploid content and explaining the chronology of previously described whole-genome duplication events in the evolution of flowering plants.

TL;DR: It is shown that use of small sample size might lead to biased estimates of LD, neutrality tests, and diversity indexes, and it is suggested a short span of LD in Populus nigra CAD4 gene is suggested.

TL;DR: This work used pooled multiplexed next-generation sequencing and a customized analysis workflow to detect mutations in five candidate genes for lignin biosynthesis in 768 pooled Populus nigra accessions and identified a total of 36 non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms, one of which causes a premature stop codon.

TL;DR: The analysis of uniparentally inherited genomes can provide a deep insight into the evolutionary histories of populations as mentioned in this paper, which can be used for the analysis of plant populations because of the unstable structure of mitochondrial plant genomes.

TL;DR: This work reports on the first whole genome physical map of grapevine built using high information content fingerprinting of 49,104 BAC clones from the cultivar Pinot Noir, and develops a resource that makes it possible to access the grapevine genome.
