New Article: "Haplotype-resolved genome assembly and resequencing provide insights into the origin and breeding of modern rose" https://t.co/jY89xiR1UD
The haplotype-resolved genome of tetraploid modern rose, plus a variation map of 233 wild and cultivated Rosa accessions.
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
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
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
The chromosome-scale genome of Torreya grandis (香榧), the largest genome (~20 Gb) and the first gymnosperm genome we and collaborators have assembled so far. Thanks to the @PacBio HiFi and the #Hi-C technologies. https://t.co/IyiPGyrOdD
Dr Zhangjun Fei and colleagues report the genome of Torreya grandis, a gymnosperm species that produces edible seeds with high level of sciadonic acid.

BTI’s Carmen Catalá led the first spatiotemporal study of the effects of prolonged water stress on tomato fruits, identifying genes that could help fruit adapt to drought conditions. @fei_lab@PlantPhys@RoseLabCornell@CornellCALS@USDA_ARS@NSF https://t.co/XyEIo8CeMM
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
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
