Journal ArticleDOI

The banana (Musa acuminata) genome and the evolution of monocotyledonous plants

Angélique D'Hont, +71 more
- 09 Aug 2012 - 
TL;DR: This first monocotyledon high-continuity whole-genome sequence reported outside Poales represents an essential bridge for comparative genome analysis in plants and clarifies commelinid-monocotYledon phylogenetic relationships, reveals Poaceae-specific features and has led to the discovery of conserved non-coding sequences predating monocotinoid–eudicotylingon divergence.
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

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

Regulatory Mechanisms Underlying Oil Palm Fruit Mesocarp Maturation, Ripening, and Functional Specialization in Lipid and Carotenoid Metabolism

TL;DR: The results suggest that divergence has occurred in the regulatory components in this monocot fruit compared with those identified in the dicot tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fleshy fruit model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transferability of the EST-SSRs developed on Nules clementine (Citrus clementina Hort ex Tan) to other Citrus species and their effectiveness for genetic mapping

TL;DR: Five new EST-SSR markers were produced and were available for citrus genetic studies, and dinucleotide microsatellite markers were more polymorphic than trinucleotide ones, probably related to their distribution that was more often located in the 5' UnTranslated Region (UTR).
