Healthy plants are vital for successful, long-duration missions in space, as they provide the crew with life support, food production, and psychological benefits. Identifying changes in microorganisms ...

A new software tool with enhanced genome-sequencing powers has been developed by the University of Adelaide, increasing the speed and accuracy at which researchers can improve plants through breeding.

An international team of researchers from 41 organizations has assembled chickpea’s pan-genome by sequencing the genomes of 3,366 chickpea lines from 60 countries. Led by the International Crops ...

There are many reasons why plant genomes need to be accurately characterized, from enhanced crop breeding to identifying undiscovered genes and their associated function. However, their size and ...

High-quality plant genome sequences are critical for research into plant evolution, breeding and conservation. However, plant genomes can be large and highly repetitive, making the process of genome ...
