This study evaluates genomic prediction and GWAS in an expanded rice NAM population, finding that prediction accuracy plateaus at moderate marker density and training size, while GWAS benefits from higher density.

The paper constructs a sorghum pangenome from ex-PVP cultivars and a wild accession, identifying structural variants and selective sweeps linked to adaptation and trait improvement.

This study constructs a chromosome-scale cannabis pangenome to explore genomic diversity and evolution, revealing low diversity in cannabinoid synthase genes and high diversity in other regions.

The paper investigates soil depth's effect on microbial communities in Sorghum bicolor fields, finding significant changes in composition and diversity with depth.

This study presents a chromosome-level genome of baobab, revealing its evolutionary history, genomic features, and population structure, with insights into its longevity mechanisms.
