Smart reprograming of plants against salinity stress using modern biotechnological tools.

TL;DR: This review presents an overview of salinity stress in crop plants and highlights advances in modern biotechnological tools, such as omics (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) approaches and different genome editing tools (ZFN, TALEN, and CRISPR/Cas system) for improving salinity tolerance in plants.

Features and applications of haplotypes in crop breeding.

TL;DR: Bhat et al. as discussed by the authors presented new avenues to discover superior haplotypes and assemble them in targeted manner in crop breeding for faster delivery of high-yielding cultivars with better adaptation to future climates.

BUSCO: assessing genome assembly and annotation completeness with single-copy orthologs

TL;DR: Zdobnov et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a measure for quantitative assessment of genome assembly and annotation completeness based on evolutionarily informed expectations of gene content, and implemented the assessment procedure in open-source software, with sets of Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs.

The B73 Maize Genome: Complexity, Diversity, and Dynamics

Patrick S. Schnable, +159 more
- 20 Nov 2009 - 
TL;DR: The sequence of the maize genome reveals it to be the most complex genome known to date and the correlation of methylation-poor regions with Mu transposon insertions and recombination and how uneven gene losses between duplicated regions were involved in returning an ancient allotetraploid to a genetically diploid state is reported.

The map-based sequence of the rice genome

Takashi Matsumoto, +265 more
- 11 Aug 2005 - 
TL;DR: A map-based, finished quality sequence that covers 95% of the 389 Mb rice genome, including virtually all of the euchromatin and two complete centromeres, and finds evidence for widespread and recurrent gene transfer from the organelles to the nuclear chromosomes.
