Durian (Durio zibethinus) is a Southeast Asian tropical plant known for its hefty, spine-covered fruit and sulfury and onion-like odor. Here we present a draft genome assembly of D. zibethinus, representing the third plant genus in the Malvales order and first in the Helicteroideae subfamily to be sequenced. Single-molecule sequencing and chromosome contact maps enabled assembly of the highly heterozygous durian genome at chromosome-scale resolution. Transcriptomic analysis showed upregulation…

Building an octaploid genome and transcriptome of the medicinal plant Pogostemon cablin from Lamiales
TLDR
Analyses showed clear evidence of whole-genome octuplication since the pan-eudicots γ triplication, which is a recent and exclusive polyploidization event and occurred at ~6.31 million years ago.
Genome-wide identification and expression profiling of durian CYPome related to fruit ripening
TLDR
Interestingly, the expression levels of CYP88, CYP94, and CYP707, which are possibly involved in gibberellin, jasmonic acid, and abscisic acid biosynthesis, were significantly different between fast- and slow-post-harvest ripening cultivars, strongly implying important roles of these hormones in fruit ripening.
The genome evolution and domestication of tropical fruit mango
TLDR
Analysis of chromosome-scale mango genome sequences reveals photosynthesis and lipid metabolism are preferentially retained after a recent WGD event, and expansion of CHS genes is likely associated with urushiol biosynthesis in mango.
Genome sequence of the agarwood tree Aquilaria sinensis (Lour.) Spreng: the first chromosome-level draft genome in the Thymelaeceae family
TLDR
The first chromosome-level genome assembly and gene annotation of A. sinensis is presented, which should contribute to valuable genetic resources for further research on the agarwood formation mechanism, genome-assisted improvement, and conservation biology of Aquilaria species.
Metabolic variation in the pulps of two durian cultivars: Unraveling the metabolites that contribute to the flavor.
Short Communication: Identification of Mildew Locus O (MLO) genes in Durio zibethinus genome corresponding with the Powdery Mildew disease
TLDR
Functional studies, especially on C-terminal and second intracellular domains, need to be conducted to elucidate the role of MLO in PM susceptibility in durian.
The genome assembly and annotation of yellowhorn (Xanthoceras sorbifolium Bunge)
TLDR
The availability and subsequent annotation of the yellowhorn genome, as well as the identification of tissue-specific functional genes, provides a valuable reference for plant comparative genomics, evolutionary studies, and molecular design breeding.
Chromosomal-level reference genome of the incense tree Aquilaria sinensis
TLDR
This study reveals the first chromosomal-level genome assembly for a tree in the genus Aquilaria and provides an unprecedented opportunity to address a variety of applied, genomic and evolutionary questions in the Thymelaeaceae more widely.
Chromosomal‐level reference genome of the incense tree Aquilaria sinensis
TLDR
This study reveals the first chromosomal‐level genome assembly for a tree in the genus Aquilaria and provides an unprecedented opportunity to address a variety of applied, genomic and evolutionary questions in the Thymelaeaceae more widely.
Fruit ripening-associated leucylaminopeptidase with cysteinylglycine dipeptidase activity from durian suggests its involvement in glutathione recycling
TLDR
DzLAP1 has Cys-Gly dipeptidase activity in the γ-glutamyl cycle and account for the high sulphur-containing compound levels identified in fully ripened durian fruit pulp.

The draft genome of a diploid cotton Gossypium raimondii
TLDR
Cotton, and probably Theobroma cacao, are the only sequenced plant species that possess an authentic CDN1 gene family for gossypol biosynthesis, as revealed by phylogenetic analysis.
Genome sequence of the cultivated cotton Gossypium arboreum
TLDR
Comparative transcriptome studies showed the key role of the nucleotide binding site (NBS)-encoding gene family in resistance to Verticillium dahliae and the involvement of ethylene in the development of cotton fiber cells.
Repeated polyploidization of Gossypium genomes and the evolution of spinnable cotton fibres
TLDR
It is shown that an abrupt five- to sixfold ploidy increase approximately 60 million years (Myr) ago, and allopolyploidy reuniting divergent Gossypium genomes approximately 1–2 Myr ago, conferred about 30–36-fold duplication of ancestral angiosperm genes in elite cottons, genetic complexity equalled only by Brassica among sequenced angiosperms.
Transcriptome analysis of ripe and unripe fruit tissue of banana identifies major metabolic networks involved in fruit ripening process
TLDR
A large number of differentially regulated genes were identified during banana fruit ripening linked to ripening dependent processes including ethylene biosynthesis, perception and signalling, cell wall degradation and production of aromatic volatiles.
The pollination ecology of durian (Durio zibethinus, Bombacaceae) in southern Thailand
TLDR
Very low pollination success in facilitated autogamy suggests that most durian trees are highly self incompatible, and protecting fruit bat populations and their roosts is vital for the production of the durian fruit crop.
Influence of maturity and postharvest treatment on the volatile profile and physiological properties of the durian ( Durio zibethinus Murray ) fruit
Variation in the volatile profile and physiological properties of durian (Durio zibethinus Murray cvs. Monthong and Chanee) were examined in fruits harvested at 100% (abscised) or 75-85% maturity,…

TLDR
Observations of flower visitors and pollination experiments indicated that two species of Durio, D. grandiflorus and D. oblongus, were pollinated by spiderhunters (Nectariniidae) and that the other species, Durio kutejensis, was pollination by giant honey bees and bats as well as birds.
A metacalibrated time-tree documents the early rise of flowering plant phylogenetic diversity.
TLDR
This time-frame documents an early phylogenetic proliferation that led to the establishment of major angiosperm lineages, and the origin of over half of extant families, in the Cretaceous.
Pectin esterase gene family in strawberry fruit: study of FaPE1, a ripening-specific isoform.
TLDR
It is proposed that this repression of FaPE1 expression could be involved in textural changes occurring during fruit senescence.
Whole-genome duplication as a key factor in crop domestication
TLDR
Support is found for the first hypothesis, whereby polyploid species were more likely to be domesticated than their wild relatives, suggesting that the genetic consequences ofpolyploidy have conferred genetic preconditions for successful domestication on many of these plants.
