This study analyzes genome sequences of 2,214 soybeans to trace its evolutionary history, identifying four geographic expansion paths and local adaptation mechanisms.

This study uses whole-genome sequencing of Triticum and Aegilops populations to show that introgression from wild relatives contributed 13-36% of the bread wheat genome, enhancing genetic diversity and enabling adaptation, while convergent adaptation to human selection was enriched despite ploidy and environmental differences.

This study uses genome-wide resequencing of wheat landraces and cultivars to trace the genetic diversity and breeding history of bread wheat in China.
