Phylogenomics of the genus Glycine sheds light on polyploid evolution and life-strategy transition
Polyploidy and life-strategy transitions between annuality and perenniality often occur in flowering plants. However, the evolutionary propensities of polyploids and the genetic bases of such transitions remai...

An accumulation of genetic variation and selection across the disease-related genes during apple domestication
Although human-imposed selection is known to have altered plant traits during crop domestication, the effect of selection on host susceptibility or resistance is not well understood. Moreover, the domesticatio...

Open AccessEvaluation of linkage disequilibrium, population structure, and genetic diversity in the U.S. peanut mini core collection
Due to the recent domestication of peanut from a single tetraploidization event, relatively little genetic diversity underlies the extensive morphological and agronomic diversity in peanut cultivars today. To ...
