The paper investigates somatic mutation variation in walnut clones propagated through different methods, finding high mutation rates and genomic instability in somatic embryos.

This study generates a chromosome-scale pistachio genome and analyzes kernel development stages to understand molecular pathways affecting nutritional quality.

This paper develops Bayesian networks for genomic prediction of developmental traits in biomass sorghum, showing improved accuracy for plant height and biomass yield using multi-time and multi-trait models.

This study compares deleterious mutation patterns between sorghum and maize, finding sorghum diverges from the domestication cost hypothesis and develops a gene deleterious index with accuracy over 0.5.

This study estimates deleterious mutation burden in sorghum and assesses its impact on agronomic traits, finding moderate genetic variance explanation but limited improvement in breeding accuracy due to linkage.
