TL;DR: The progress achieved in understanding crop pan-genomics is highlighted, the biological activities that cause SVs are discussed, important agronomical traits affected by SVs is reviewed, and the perspective on the application of pan- genomics in crop improvement is presented.

TL;DR: The development and application of the Sorghum QTL Atlas is described, a high-resolution, open-access research platform to facilitate candidate gene identification across three cereal species, sorghum, maize and rice, and the power and resolution of the resource to facilitate comparative genomics approaches to provide a bridge between genomics and applied breeding.

TL;DR: For the first time, quantitative trait loci associated with two of the mechanisms of midge resistance, antixenosis and antibiosis, were identified in an RI (recombinant inbred) population from the cross of sorghum lines as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The results indicate that ZmTrxh exhibits a distinct defense profile in maize resistance to SCMV, differing from previously characterized dominant or recessive potyvirus resistance genes.

TL;DR: The results pave the way towards cloning of Scmv1 and facilitate marker-assisted selection for potyvirus resistance in maize and pinpoints Zmtrx-h as the most likely positional candidate gene for ScmV1.
