[HTML][HTML] The sunflower genome provides insights into oil metabolism, flowering and Asterid evolution
The domesticated sunflower, Helianthus annuus L., is a global oil crop that has promise for
climate change adaptation, because it can maintain stable yields across a wide variety of …

The genome of flax (Linum usitatissimum) assembled de novo from short shotgun sequence reads
Flax (Linum usitatissimum) is an ancient crop that is widely cultivated as a source of fiber, oil
and medicinally relevant compounds. To accelerate crop improvement, we performed whole…

[HTML][HTML] Genomic islands of divergence are not affected by geography of speciation in sunflowers
Genomic studies of speciation often report the presence of highly differentiated genomic
regions interspersed within a milieu of weakly diverged loci. The formation of these speciation …

Digitization and the future of natural history collections
Natural history collections (NHCs) are the foundation of historical baselines for assessing
anthropogenic impacts on biodiversity. Along these lines, the online mobilization of specimens …

Sunflower pan-genome analysis shows that hybridization altered gene content and disease resistance
Domesticated plants and animals often display dramatic responses to selection, but the
origins of the genetic diversity underlying these responses remain poorly understood. Despite …

A new Cannabis genome assembly associates elevated cannabidiol (CBD) with hemp introgressed into marijuana
Demand for cannabidiol (CBD), the predominant cannabinoid in hemp (Cannabis sativa),
has favored cultivars producing unprecedented quantities of CBD. We investigated the …

A 34K SNP genotyping array for Populus trichocarpa: Design, application to the study of natural populations and transferability to other Populus species
Genetic mapping of quantitative traits requires genotypic data for large numbers of markers
in many individuals. For such studies, the use of large single nucleotide polymorphism ( SNP …

An evaluation of alternative explanations for widespread cytonuclear discordance in annual sunflowers (Helianthus)
Cytonuclear discordance is commonly observed in phylogenetic studies, yet few studies have
tested whether these patterns reflect incomplete lineage sorting or organellar introgression…
