    The genome sequence of segmental allotetraploid peanut Arachis hypogaea
    (Springer Nature Publishing AG, 2019) Bertioli, David J.; Jenkins, Jerry; Clevenger, Josh; Dudchenko, Olga; Gao, Dongying; Seijo, Guillermo; Leal-Bertioli, Soraya C. M.; Ren, Longhui; Farmer, Andrew D.; Pandey, Manish K.; Samoluk, Sergio S.; Abernathy, Brian; Agarwal, Gaurav; Ballén-Taborda, Carolina; Cameron, Connor; Campbell , Jacqueline; Chavarro, Carolina; Chitikineni, Annapurna; Chu, Ye; Dash, Sudhansu; Baidouri, Moaine El; Guo, Baozhu; Huang, Wei; Kim, Kyung Do; Korani, Walid; Lanciano, Sophie; Lui, Christopher G.; Mirouze, Marie; Moretzsohn, Márcio C.; Pham, Melanie; Shin, Jin Hee; Shirasawa, Kenta; Sinharoy, Senjuti; Sreedasyam, Avinash; Weeks, Nathan T.; Zhang, Xinyou; Zheng, Zheng; Sun, Ziqi; Froenicke, Lutz; Aiden, Erez L.; Michelmore, Richard; Varshney, Rajeev K.; Holbrook, C.

    Like many other crops, the cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is of hybrid origin and has a polyploid genome that contains essentially complete sets of chromosomes from two ancestral species. Here we report the genome sequence of peanut and show that after its polyploid origin, the genome has evolved through mobile-element activity, deletions and by the flow of genetic information between corresponding ancestral chromosomes (that is, homeologous recombination). Uniformity of patterns of homeologous recombination at the ends of chromosomes favors a single origin for cultivated peanut and its wild counterpart A. monticola. However, through much of the genome, homeologous recombination has created diversity. Using new polyploid hybrids made from the ancestral species, we show how this can generate phenotypic changes such as spontaneous changes in the color of the flowers. We suggest that diversity generated by these genetic mechanisms helped to favor the domestication of the polyploid A. hypogaea over other diploid Arachis species cultivated by humans.

    Draft genome sequence of Cicer reticulatum L., the wild progenitor of chickpea provides a resource for agronomic trait improvement
    (Oxford University Press, 2017) Gupta, Sonal; Nawaz, Kashif; Parween, Sabiha; Roy, Riti; Sahu, Kamlesh; Pole, Anil Kumar; Khandal, Hitaishi; Srivastava, Rishi; Parida, Swarup K.; Chattopadhyay, Debasis
    Cicer reticulatum L. is the wild progenitor of the fourth most important legume crop chickpea (C. arietinum L.). We assembled short-read sequences into 416 Mb draft genome of C. reticulatum and anchored 78% (327 Mb) of this assembly to eight linkage groups. Genome annotation predicted 25,680 protein-coding genes covering more than 90% of predicted gene space. The genome assembly shared a substantial synteny and conservation of gene orders with the genome of the model legume Medicago truncatula. Resistance gene homologs of wild and domesticated chickpeas showed high sequence homology and conserved synteny. Comparison of gene sequences and nucleotide diversity using 66 wild and domesticated chickpea accessions suggested that the desi type chickpea was genetically closer to the wild species than the kabuli type. Comparative analyses predicted gene flow between the wild and the cultivated species during domestication. Molecular diversity and population genetic structure determination using 15,096 genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms revealed an admixed domestication pattern among cultivated (desi and kabuli) and wild chickpea accessions belonging to three population groups reflecting significant influence of parentage or geographical origin for their cultivar-specific population classification. The assembly and the polymorphic sequence resources presented here would facilitate the study of chickpea domestication and targeted use of wild Cicer germplasms for agronomic trait improvement in chickpea.

    Foxtail millet: A model crop for genetic and genomic studies in bioenergy grasses
    (Informa UK Limited, an Informa Group Company (T&F Group), 2013) Lata, Charu; Gupta, Sarika; Prasad, Manoj
    Foxtail millet is one of the oldest domesticated diploid C4 Panicoid crops having a comparatively small genome size of approximately 515 Mb, short life cycle, and inbreeding nature. Its two species, Setaria italica (domesticated) and Setaria viridis (wild progenitor), have characteristics that classify them as excellent model systems to examine several aspects of architectural, evolutionary, and physiological importance in Panicoid grasses especially the biofuel crops such as switchgrass and napiergrass. Foxtail millet is a staple crop used extensively for food and fodder in parts of Asia and Africa. In its long history of cultivation, it has been adapted to arid and semi-arid areas of Asia, North Africa, South and North America. Foxtail millet has one of the largest collections of cultivated as well as wild-type germplasm rich with phenotypic variations and hence provides prospects for association mapping and allele-mining of elite and novel variants to be incorporated in crop improvement programs. Most of the foxtail millet accessions can be primarily abiotic stress tolerant particularly to drought and salinity, and therefore exploiting these agronomic traits can enhance its efficacy in marker-aided breeding as well as in genetic engineering for abiotic stress tolerance. In addition, the release of draft genome sequence of foxtail millet would be useful to the researchers worldwide in not only discerning the molecular basis of biomass production in biofuel crops and the methods to improve it, but also for the introgression of beneficial agronomically important characteristics in foxtail millet as well as in related Panicoid bioenergy grasses.

    A draft genome sequence of the pulse crop chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
    (John Wiley & Sons, 2013) Jain, Mukesh; Misra, Gopal; Patel, Ravi K.; Priya, Pushp; Jhanwar, Shalu; Khan, Aamir W.; Shah, Niraj; Singh, Vikas K.; Garg, Rohini; Jeena, Ganga; Yadav, Manju; Kant, Chandra; Sharma, Priyanka; Yadav, Gitanjali; Bhatia, Sabhyata; Tyagi, Akhilesh K.; Chattopadhyay, Debasis
    Cicer arietinum L. (chickpea) is the third most important food legume crop. We have generated the draft sequence of a desi-type chickpea genome using next-generation sequencing platforms, bacterial artificial chromosome end sequences and a genetic map. The 520-Mb assembly covers 70% of the predicted 740-Mb genome length, and more than 80% of the gene space. Genome analysis predicts the presence of 27,571 genes and 210 Mb as repeat elements. The gene expression analysis performed using 274 million RNA-Seq reads identified several tissue-specific and stress-responsive genes. Although segmental duplicated blocks are observed, the chickpea genome does not exhibit any indication of recent whole-genome duplication. Nucleotide diversity analysis provides an assessment of a narrow genetic base within the chickpea cultivars. We have developed a resource for genetic markers by comparing the genome sequences of one wild and three cultivated chickpea genotypes. The draft genome sequence is expected to facilitate genetic enhancement and breeding to develop improved chickpea varieties.
