Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the world’s most important non-grain food crop and is central
to global food security. It is clonally propagated, highly heterozygous, autotetraploid, and …

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is the second most widely grown legume crop after soybean,
accounting for a substantial proportion of human dietary nitrogen intake and playing a crucial …

Here we analyse genetic variation, population structure and diversity among 3,010 diverse
Asian cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) genomes from the 3,000 Rice Genomes Project. Our …

We report a large-scale analysis of the patterns of genome-wide genetic variation in soybeans.
We re-sequenced a total of 17 wild and 14 cultivated soybean genomes to an average of …

Pigeonpea is an important legume food crop grown primarily by smallholder farmers in many
semi-arid tropical regions of the world. We used the Illumina next-generation sequencing …

Domestication and plant breeding are ongoing 10,000-year-old evolutionary experiments
that have radically altered wild species to meet human needs. Maize has undergone a …

Foxtail millet (Setaria italica), a member of the Poaceae grass family, is an important food and
fodder crop in arid regions and has potential for use as a C 4 biofuel. It is a model system …

Whereas breeders have exploited diversity in maize for yield improvements, there has been
limited progress in using beneficial alleles in undomesticated varieties. Characterizing …

We explored genetic variation by sequencing a selection of 84 tomato accessions and
related wild species representative of the Lycopersicon, Arcanum, Eriopersicon and …

We have identified about 20 million rice SNPs by aligning reads from the 3000 rice genomes
project with the Nipponbare genome. The SNPs and allele information are organized into a …
