A Gapless T2T Genome and Population-Scale Resequencing of Adzuki Bean Reveal Centromere Evolution and Accelerate Molecular Breeding

Abstract The adzuki bean (Vigna angularis) is an economically and nutritionally significant legume species. Using a multi-strategy sequencing approach, a gapless, telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome assembly of an elite cultivar, Jihong 16 (JH16), was generated. The genome size was...

Genome-wide identification of the chalcone synthase (CHS) family in tigernut and function analysis of cechs57 in drought stress response

Drought stress is a major abiotic constraint that severely impairs crop growth and reduces yield globally. Identification of drought-tolerant candidate genes and their application in molecular breeding represent effective strategies to alleviate drought-induced losses. Genome-wid...

Transcriptomic profiling and differential alternative splicing of citrus in response to infestation by Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri

The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, is the principal vector of huanglongbing pathogens and poses a severe threat to citrus production worldwide. Transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation mediated by alternative splicing (AS) are well-established mechani...
