Persian walnut (Juglans regia) is cultivated worldwide for its high-quality wood and nuts, but origin has remained mysterious because in phylogenies it occupies an unresolved position between American black walnuts Asian butternuts. Equally unclear the of only butternut, J. cinerea. We resequenced whole genome 80 individuals from 19 22 species Juglans assembled relatives Pterocarya stenoptera Platycarya strobilacea. Using phylogenetic-network analysis single-copy nuclear genes, genome-wide site pattern probabilities, Approximate Bayesian Computation, we discovered that regia (and landrace sigillata) arose as a hybrid lineages cinerea resulted massive introgression immigrating butternut into walnut. Computation modeling placed late Pliocene, ∼3.45 My, with both parental since having gone extinct Europe.

Modern sugarcanes are polyploid interspecific hybrids, combining high sugar content from Saccharum officinarum with hardiness, disease resistance and ratooning of spontaneum. Sequencing a haploid S. spontaneum, AP85-441, facilitated the assembly 32 pseudo-chromosomes comprising 8 homologous groups 4 members each, bearing 35,525 genes alleles defined. The reduction basic chromosome number 10 to in spontaneum was caused by fissions 2 ancestral chromosomes followed translocations chromosomes.

Citrus is a globally important, perennial fruit crop whose rhizosphere microbiome thought to play an important role in promoting citrus growth and health. Here, we report comprehensive analysis of the structural functional composition microbiome. We use both amplicon deep shotgun metagenomic sequencing bulk soil samples collected across distinct biogeographical regions from six continents. Predominant taxa include Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Acidobacteria Bacteroidetes. The core comprises Pseudomonas, Agrobacterium, Cupriavidus, Bradyrhizobium, Rhizobium, Mesorhizobium, Burkholderia, Cellvibrio, Sphingomonas, Variovorax Paraburkholderia, some which are potential plant beneficial microbes. also identify over-represented microbial traits mediating plant-microbe microbe-microbe interactions, nutrition acquisition promotion rhizosphere. results provide valuable information guide isolation culturing and, potentially, harness power improve production

The essential oil fraction obtained from the rind of Citrus spp is rich in chemical compounds interest for food and perfume industries, therefore has been extensively studied during last decades. In this manuscript we provide a comprehensive review volatile composition extracts ten most species: C. sinensis (sweet orange), reticulata (mandarin), paradisi (grapefruit), grandis (pummelo), limon (lemon), medica (citron), aurantifolia (lime), aurantium (bitter bergamia (bergamot orange) junos (yuzu). Forty-nine organic have reported all species, them terpenoid (90%), although about half identified peel are non-terpenoid. Over 400 volatiles different nature exclusively described only one these species some could be useful as biomarkers. A hierarchical cluster analysis based on arranges three clusters which essentially mirrors those with genetic information. first comprised by reticulata, grandis, sinensis, aurantium, mainly characterized presence larger abundance non-terpenoid ester aldehyde than other reviewed. second junos, medica, bergamia, prevalence mono- sesquiterpene hydrocarbons.
