Genotyping-by-sequencing of three mapping populations for identification of candidate genomic regions for resistance to sterility mosaic disease in pigeonpea Sterility mosaic disease (SMD) is one of the serious production constraints that may...
More infoWhole-genome resequencing of 292 pigeonpea accessions identifies genomic regions associated with domestication and agronomic traits
Whole-genome resequencing of 292 pigeonpea accessions identifies genomic regions associated with domestication and agronomic traits Abstract Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan), a tropical grain legume with low input requirements, is expected to...
More infoPearl millet genome sequence provides a resource to improve agronomic traits in arid environments
Abstract Pearl millet [Cenchrus americanus (L.) Morrone] is a staple food for more than 90 million farmers in arid and semi-arid regions of sub-Saharan Africa, India and South Asia. We report the ~1.79 Gb draft whole genome sequence of reference...
More infoA comprehensive Cicer arietinum Gene Expression Atlas (CaGEA) across different developmental stages and organs
Abstract Chickpea is one of the world’s largest cultivated food legumes and is an excellent source of high‐quality protein to the human diet. Plant growth and development are controlled by programmed expression of a suite of genes at the...
More infoA western Sahara centre of domestication inferred from pearl millet genomes
Abstract There have been intense debates over the geographic origin of African crops and agriculture. Here, we used whole-genome sequencing data to infer the domestication origin of pearl millet (Cenchrus americanus). Our results supported an...
More infoResequencing of 429 chickpea accessions from 45 countries provides insights into genome diversity, domestication and agronomic traits
Abstract We report a map of 4.97 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the chickpea from whole-genome resequencing of 429 lines sampled from 45 countries. We identified 122 candidate regions with 204 genes under selection during chickpea...
More infoSuper-Pangenome by Integrating the Wild Side of a Species for Accelerated Crop Improvement
Highlights Pangenome studies conducted so far have been limited mainly to one species and mostly cultivated accessions. The challenge with the current pangenomes is lack of representation of genomic diversity at the genus level. Crop wild...
More infoDesigning Future Crops: Genomics-Assisted Breeding Comes of Age
Highlights Availability of reference genomes and genome-wide surveys on comprehensive diversity panels pave the way to associate the allelic variation with phenotypes. Methods are now available to evaluate the genetic worth of the vast genetic...
