TL;DR: This reference genome sequence will facilitate the identification of the genetic basis of agronomically important traits, and accelerate the development of improved pigeonpea varieties that could improve food security in many developing countries.
The Genome of Pear ( Pyrus bretschneideri Rehd.)
TL;DR: The draft genome of the pear using a combination of BAC-by-BAC and next-generation sequencing is reported, and size differences between the apple and pear genomes are confirmed mainly due to the presence of repetitive sequences predominantly contributed by transposable elements (TEs), while genic regions are similar in both species.

Patterns and processes in crop domestication: an historical review and quantitative analysis of 203 global food crops
TL;DR: The overall time required to domesticate a species has decreased since the earliest domestication events, and the frequencies of some domestication syndrome traits have decreased over time, while others have increased.

Evidence on the origin of cassava: Phylogeography of Manihot esculenta
TL;DR: Investigation of this crop's domestication in a phylogeographic study based on the single-copy nuclear gene glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase demonstrates that single- copy nuclear genes can provide a useful source of informative variation in plants.
