My lab had a great visit to Gourdlandia yesterday. We made our own bottle gourd lights and talked about bottle gourd history and genetics!

[Boyce Thompson Inst @BTIscience]

The bottle gourd has been used to make bottles, instruments, and containers for over 10,000 years. BTI researchers created a genetic blueprint, gaining insights that could boost food security in a changing world. https://t.co/yxYy4dV7Lw

Kazakhstan’s Tian Shan mountains, where Malus sieversii (a wild apple and primary ancestor of modern apples) thrives may unlock the key to making the fruit more resilient to stress. BTI's @fei_lab recently offered his insight in @SmithsonianMag.

Glad to share our work on genomes and diversity of five domesticated pepper species and their wild relatives. We have generated three reference genomes and shotgun sequences of 500 peppers. @BTIscience @CornellCALS https://t.co/alWkcGN3hg

[Boyce Thompson Inst @BTIscience]

Scientists at BTI have constructed a comprehensive “super-pangenome” for watermelon and its wild relatives, uncovering beneficial genes lost during domestication that could improve disease resistance and fruit quality of this vital fruit crop. @fei_lab https://t.co/ZVGjVWz8RS

[Zhangjun Fei @fei_lab]

Glad to share our collaborative work on the super-pangenome of tomato constructed from chromosome-scale reference-grade assemblies of nine wild tomato species, a landrace and a cultivar(M82) we newly generated. @BTIscience⁩ ⁦@CornellCALS⁩ https://t.co/IlA39heJCk

Zhangjun Fei and colleagues have updated the cucurbit genome database with 34 assemblies from different species or subspecies in the cucurbit family, including cucumbers, melons, watermelons, squashes, gourds and more! @fei_lab @SWu727 @USDA_ARS @NAR_Open https://t.co/8SsaTHpiRZ

[Boyce Thompson Inst @BTIscience]

A new reference genome and web-based tools for S. lycopersicoides will help tomato researchers and breeders improve the crop, such as by improving nutrition and resistance to disease. @adrianfpowell @usadellab @fei_lab @solgenomics @RWTH @ThePlantJournal https://t.co/Yg85yYkKL9
