We produced a unique large data set of reference transcriptomes to obtain new knowledge about the evolution of plant genomes and crop domestication. For this purpose, we validated a RNA‐Seq data assembly protocol to perform comparative population genomics. For the validation, we assessed and compared the quality of de novo Illumina short‐read assemblies using data from two crops for which an annotated reference genome was available, namely grapevine and sorghum. We used the same protocol for…

The first Illumina-based de novo transcriptome analysis and molecular marker development in Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum)
TLDR
The transcriptomic data of present study from the two P. purpureum cultivars provides an abundant amount of available genomic information for Pennisetum, and the identified SNPs and EST-SSRs will facilitate genetic and molecular studies within the PennISetum genus.
Population Genomics of Crop Domestication: Current State and Perspectives
TLDR
Some key questions concerning crop domestication are reviewed and how genomics can help answer these questions are discussed and what interesting new approaches could be used in the future.
Domestication rewired gene expression and nucleotide diversity patterns in tomato
TLDR
This study used a combination of gene expression and population genetics in wild and crop tomato to decipher the footprints of domestication, finding a set of 1729 differentially expressed genes (DEG) between the two genetic groups, suggesting that domestication affected not only individual genes but also regulatory networks.
Evolutionary transcriptomics reveals the origins of olives and the genomic changes associated with their domestication
TLDR
The results indicated that the domestication of olives resulted in only moderate genomic consequences and that theDomestication syndrome is mainly related to changes in gene expression, consistent with its evolutionary history and life history traits.
Genome sequence and genetic diversity analysis of an under-domesticated orphan crop, white fonio
TLDR
Analysis of fonio population genetics, primarily in Mali, indicated that the crop has extensive genetic diversity that is largely partitioned across a north-south gradient coinciding with the Sahel and Sudan grassland domains.
Use of modern tomato breeding germplasm for deciphering the genetic control of agronomical traits by Genome Wide Association study
TLDR
A panel of 300 tomato accessions including breeding materials was built and characterized, allowing the identification of several associations for fruit weight, plant growth and earliness, deciphering the genetic architecture of these complex traits and identifying several new loci useful for tomato breeding.
Metabolite database for root, tuber, and banana crops to facilitate modern breeding in understudied crops
TLDR
A compound database and concentration range for metabolites detected in the major RTB crops is presented following metabolomics‐based diversity screening of global collections held within the CGIAR institutes, providing a valuable resource regarding the comparative biochemical composition of each RTB crop.
Genome sequence and genetic diversity analysis of an under-domesticated orphan crop, white fonio (Digitaria exilis)
TLDR
Analysis of fonio population genetics, primarily in Mali, indicated that the crop has extensive genetic diversity that is largely partitioned across a north-south gradient coinciding with the Sahel and Sudan grassland domains.
Chromosome evolution and the genetic basis of agronomically important traits in greater yam
TLDR
A highly-contiguous chromosome-scale genome assembly of greater yam combined with a dense genetic map derived from African breeding populations is presented, revealing an ancient lineage-specific genome duplication, followed by extensive genome-wide reorganization.
Chromosome evolution and the genetic basis of agronomically important traits in greater yam
TLDR
The genome sequence reveals an ancient allotetraploidization in the Dioscorea lineage, followed by extensive genome-wide reorganization and quantitative trait loci for resistance to anthracnose, a damaging fungal pathogen of yam, and several tuber quality traits.

Whole-genome sequencing of cultivated and wild peppers provides insights into Capsicum domestication and specialization
TLDR
It is found that dosage compensation effect of tandem duplication genes probably contributed to the pungent diversification in pepper and the Capsicum reference genome provides crucial information for the study of not only the evolution of the pepper genome but also, the Solanaceae family.
The grapevine genome sequence suggests ancestral hexaploidization in major angiosperm phyla
TLDR
A high-quality draft of the genome sequence of grapevine is obtained from a highly homozygous genotype, revealing the contribution of three ancestral genomes to the grapevine haploid content and explaining the chronology of previously described whole-genome duplication events in the evolution of flowering plants.
Comparative analyses of two Geraniaceae transcriptomes using next-generation sequencing
TLDR
The findings support the use of the Illumina platform and assemblers optimized for transcriptome assembly, such as Trinity or SOAPtrans, to generate high-quality de novo transcriptomes with broad coverage and demonstrate the power of cross-compartmental genomic analyses to deepen the understanding of the correlated evolution of the nuclear, plastid, and mitochondrial genomes in plants.
Comprehensive transcriptomic study on horse gram (Macrotyloma uniflorum): De novo assembly, functional characterization and comparative analysis in relation to drought stress
TLDR
The genes and pathways identified suggest efficient regulation leading to active adaptation as a basal defense response against drought stress by horse gram and can be further utilized for exploring other underexploited plants for stress responsive genes and improving plant tolerance.
Comparative population genomics of maize domestication and improvement
TLDR
A comprehensive assessment of the evolution of modern maize based on the genome-wide resequencing of 75 wild, landrace and improved maize lines finds evidence of recovery of diversity after domestication, likely introgression from wild relatives, and evidence for stronger selection during domestication than improvement.

TLDR
This study provides a comprehensive transcriptome resource for two Leptostemonum clade Solanum species and insight into their evolutionary history and biological characteristics, and shows that RNA-Seq is a fast, reliable and cost-effective method for assessing genome evolution in non-model species.
