Identification of AhFatB genes through genome-wide analysis and knockout of AhFatB reduces the content of saturated fatty acids in peanut (Arichis hypogaea L.).

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors identified 18 AhFatB genes in A. hypogaea genome and grouped them into four major subfamilies through gene structures and phylogenetic relationships.

Population Improvement Through Recurrent Selection in Rice. Prospect for Maker Assisted Recurrent Selection and Genome-Wide Selection

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the relative efficiency of different GWS and marker assisted recurrent selection (MARS) schemes for the improvement of yield potential and drought tolerance for upland rice.

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.
