Soybean (Glycine max) is one of the most important crop plants for seed protein and oil
content, and for its capacity to fix atmospheric nitrogen through symbioses with soil-borne …

The evolution of land flora transformed the terrestrial environment. Land plants evolved from
an ancestral charophycean alga from which they inherited developmental, biochemical, and …

Eucalypts are the world’s most widely planted hardwood trees. Their outstanding diversity,
adaptability and growth have made them a global renewable resource of fibre and energy. …

To elucidate the genetic bases of mycorrhizal lifestyle evolution, we sequenced new fungal
genomes, including 13 ectomycorrhizal (ECM), orchid (ORM) and ericoid (ERM) species, …

Wood is a major pool of organic carbon that is highly resistant to decay, owing largely to the
presence of lignin. The only organisms capable of substantial lignin decay are white rot …

An ordered draft sequence of the 17-gigabase hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum)
genome has been produced by sequencing isolated chromosome arms. We have annotated …

From the standpoints of both basic research and biotechnology, there is considerable interest
in reaching a clearer understanding of the diversity of biological mechanisms employed …

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important grain legume for human consumption
and has a role in sustainable agriculture owing to its ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen…

We generated a high-quality reference genome sequence for foxtail millet (Setaria italica).
The ∼400-Mb assembly covers ∼80% of the genome and >95% of the gene space. The …

The class Dothideomycetes is one of the largest groups of fungi with a high level of ecological
diversity including many plant pathogens infecting a broad range of hosts. Here, we …
