Genome-assisted Breeding For Drought Resistance.

TL;DR: The complex nature of drought resistance requires a multi-pronged approach to breed new varieties with stable and enhanced yield under drought stress conditions, and appropriate genetic diversity, databases, analytical tools, and well-characterized drought stress scenarios, weather and soil data are needed.

Nuclear DNA content of some important plant species

TL;DR: This survey identified several horticultural crops in a variety of families with genomes only two or three times as large asArabidopsis and several fruit trees (a pricot, cherry, mango, orange, papaya, and peach) that should facilitate molecular studies of these crops.

Sanwen Huang, +95 more
- 01 Dec 2009 - 
TL;DR: This study establishes that five of the cucumber's seven chromosomes arose from fusions of ten ancestral chromosomes after divergence from Cucumis melo, and identifies 686 gene clusters related to phloem function.
