The paper identifies the candidate gene SUGI_0493010 for MS2-type male sterility in Japanese cedar using linkage mapping and transcriptomic data.

This paper develops a simple, environmentally friendly DNA extraction and PCR-RFLP method for genotyping the MS4 gene in Cryptomeria japonica, suitable for field use.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for the Japanese cedar, using long-read and Hi-C sequencing to achieve high contiguity and accuracy.

The paper identifies a male-sterile gene (MS1) in Japanese cedar by analyzing deletions in a lipid transfer protein gene and proposes marker-assisted selection for breeding.

The paper develops PCR and LAMP markers to detect mutant alleles of the MS1 gene in Cryptomeria japonica for pollen-free cultivar production.

This study identifies markers for the male-sterility gene MS1 in Cryptomeria japonica and demonstrates their use in marker-assisted selection across different populations.

The paper assembles a high-quality transcriptome from male strobili of sugi, identifies expressed genes, and demonstrates its utility for functional and evolutionary studies.
