Flowering time is considered one of the most important agronomic traits in maize (Zea mays L.), and previous studies have indicated that this trait is correlated with genome size. We observed a significant difference in genome size between tropical and temperate inbred lines and a moderate positiv...
The oil palm genome is approximately 1.8 billion base pairs in size, about 4 times the size of the rice genome and two thirds the size of the maize genome. The researchers sequenced a combination of two oil palm races, tenera and dura, to produce seven-fold coverage of the plant's genom...

Tea plants are an ideal model for investigating the molecular regulation mechanism of secondary metabolites11. The rich collection of secondary metabolites endow tea with a distinctive taste, aroma and color and are involved in the responses to various environmental stresses12,13; thus, these metabolit...
‘-Q’ is the maximum alignment depth for the query genome. For example, the maize genome has an additional round of whole-genome duplication compared to the sorghum genome, so we set the maximum alignment depth of the maize genome as 1 and the maximum alignment depth of the sorghum genome...
database of maize genera, contains integrated multi-omics data, including transcriptomes, phenotypic groups, and genetic variations, which has greatly promoted the understanding of the relationship between phenotypes and genotypes in maize (Gui et al., 2020). A comprehensive functional genomic platform ...
The maize inbred line A188 is an attractive model for elucidation of gene function and improvement due to its high embryogenic capacity and many contrasting traits to the first maize reference genome, B73, and other elite lines. The lack of a genome asse
The genome size ofR. simsii(Supplementary Fig.1) estimated withK-mer analysis to be ~525 Mb (Supplementary Fig.2) was larger than its size estimation by flow cytometry for yet unresolved reasons (Supplementary Table1). We produced 100× coverage of PacBio long-read sequencing data, 170×...
Ipomoea is the largest genus in the family Convolvulaceae. Ipomoea nil (Japanese morning glory) has been utilized as a model plant to study the genetic basis of floricultural traits, with over 1,500 mutant lines. In the present study, we have utilized se
whereas unmarked clades represent MAGs retrieved from previous studies. Colored strips on the two outermost rims show the biome type to which the isolation belongs and the animal source of the host-associated genomes. Two layers of the concentric bar plot indicate the genome size (G.S.) and th...
