Molecular and Genomic Tools Provide Insights on Crop Domestication and Evolution

TL;DR: Rapid progress in genomic research and the development of genome-wide molecular markers for various crops significantly improved knowledge on plant domestication and evolution, and genes underlying domestication syndrome traits show a significant loss of diversity.

The Orphan Legume Genome Whose Time Has Come: Symposium Highlights from the American Peanut Research & Education Society Annual Meeting

TL;DR: The Peanut Genome Project was launched in 2012 and a genomics symposium was held at the 2012 annual meeting of the American Peanut Research and Education Society, where seven speakers presented a spectrum of topics covering peanut molecular tools and materials.

Towards Enriching Genomic Resources in Legumes

TL;DR: The genomics assisted breeding (GAB) can now be successfully used in legume improvement and development of improved genotypes having improved agronomic and quality traits and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses.

Emerging Genetic Technologies for Improving the Security of Food Crops

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that classical breeding alone will not provide adequate breakthroughs to increase yield and quality, to solve the complex problems of biotic and abiotic stresses, and thus to meet the global food security challenges.

Large-scale transcriptome analysis in faba bean (Vicia faba L.)

TL;DR: The results reported here represent the most comprehensive transcript database developed so far in faba bean, providing valuable information that could be used to gain insight into the pathways involved in the resistance mechanism against A. fabae and to identify potential resistance genes to be further used in marker assisted selection.

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.

The genome of the cucumber, Cucumis sativus L.

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.
