Grapevine is one of the most economically important crops worldwide. However, the previous
versions of the grapevine reference genome tipically consist of thousands of fragments …

The adaptive potential of the northernmost Pinus sylvestris L. (and other northern tree)
populations is considered by examining first the current patterns of quantitative genetic adaptive …

To increase yield in pea (Pisum sativum L.), autumn sowing would be preferable. Hence, frost
tolerance of pea became a major trait of interest for breeders. In order to better understand …

The genome of the filamentous brown alga Ectocarpus was the first to be completely sequenced
from within the brown algal group and has served as a key reference genome both for …

Background and Aims Polyamines are small metabolites present in all living cells and play
fundamental roles in numerous physiological events in plants. The aminopropyltransferases (…

Hi-C exploits contact frequencies between pairs of loci to bridge and order contigs during
genome assembly, resulting in chromosome-level assemblies. Because few robust programs …

10.7554/eLife.43101.001 Three amino acid loop extension homeodomain transcription
factors (TALE HD TFs) act as life cycle regulators in green algae and land plants. In mosses …

Deciphering the genetic architecture of adaptation of brown algae to environmental stresses
such as temperature and salinity is of evolutionary as well as of practical interest. The …

Understanding the genetic basis of the timing of bud set, an important trait in conifers, is relevant
for adaptation and forestry practice. In common garden experiments, both Scots pine ( P …

Freezing is a major environmental limitation to crop productivity for a number of species
including legumes. We investigated the genetic determinism of freezing tolerance in the model …
