The paper develops a pan-gene catalogue for Asian cultivated rice by creating a reference panel of 16 cultivars and identifying core and cultivar-specific genes.

The paper identifies bi-directionally expressed enhancers in maize with domestication signatures using integrated epigenomic and transcriptomic data from multiple tissues and inbred lines.

The paper presents an HPC-based workflow for genome variant calling using GATK, demonstrating SNP detection in four plant species and identifying novel SNPs in rice.

A multi-genome analysis of maize reveals previously unknown variation in gene content, genome structure, and methylation.

This study constructs high-quality sorghum genome assemblies and identifies structural variations and resistance genes associated with sugarcane aphid resistance.

This study evaluates the impact of sequence depth and read length on long-read assembly quality for the maize genome, finding that lower depths and shorter reads result in fragmented assemblies.

Recombinant phycocyanin from Arthrospira platensis FACHB 314 expressed in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii enhances early growth and photosynthesis under low-light conditions but inhibits final biomass accumulation.

The paper improves the maize reference genome using single molecule technologies, resulting in longer contigs and better annotation of repetitive elements and genes.
