The coffee genome provides insight into the convergent evolution of caffeine biosynthesis

Lorenzo Carretero-Paulet, +69 more
- 05 Sep 2014 - 
TL;DR: The Coffea canephora (coffee) genome was sequenced and identified a conserved gene order, and comparative analyses of caffeine NMTs demonstrate that these genes expanded through sequential tandem duplications independently of genes from cacao and tea, suggesting that caffeine in eudicots is of polyphyletic origin.
Journal ArticleDOI

The pineapple genome and the evolution of CAM photosynthesis

Ray Ming, +74 more
- 01 Dec 2015 - 
TL;DR: The pineapple lineage has transitioned from C3 photosynthesis to CAM, with CAM-related genes exhibiting a diel expression pattern in photosynthetic tissues, providing the first cis-regulatory link between CAM and circadian clock regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Allele-defined genome of the autopolyploid sugarcane Saccharum spontaneum L.

Jisen Zhang, +109 more
- 08 Oct 2018 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a haplotype of S. spontaneum, AP85-441, facilitated the assembly of 32 pseudo-chromosomes comprising 8 homologous groups of 4 members each, bearing 35,525 genes with alleles defined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome of the long-living sacred lotus ( Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.)

Ray Ming, +76 more
- 10 May 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the China Antique variety of the sacred lotus was sequenced with Illumina and 454 technologies, at respective depths of 101× and 5.2×, and the final assembly has a contig N50 of 38.8 kbp and a scaffold n50 of 3.4 Mbp, covering 86.5% of the estimated 929 Mbp total genome size.
