TL;DR: A high-quality chromosome-scale assembly and analysis of the carrot genome is reported, the first sequenced genome to include a comparative evolutionary analysis among members of the euasterid II clade, and a candidate gene, DCAR_032551, is identified that conditions carotenoid accumulation (Y) in carrot taproot and is coexpressed with several isoprenoid biosynthetic genes.

TL;DR: The present review elaborates the progress and prospects of GAB for improving climate change resilience in crops, which is likely to play an ever increasing role in the effort to ensure global food security.

TL;DR: Comparing the genetic diversity of wild and cultivated accessions suggested the absence of a genetic bottleneck during carrot domestication, and results suggest an origin of domesticated carrot in Central Asia.

TL;DR: The genome is analyzed for regions putatively under selection during domestication and identified 12 regions that were significant for all three methods of detection, one of which includes the Or gene, which has not previously been described in carrot.

TL;DR: The results reported here provide background for further research on the history of carrot domestication and identify genomic regions potentially important for modern carrot breeding.
