We showed how human selection has sculpted gluten gene diversity of wheat across millennia—favoring flexible, variable loci over structurally conserved ones, and strengthening epistatic interactions to boost the performance. All comments are welcome!

Years of teamwork with Zifeng have been rewarding. Using our large germplasm and VMap, we have published three nice papers together in 2023, to dissect genetics of plant height, grain number, and grain size in wheat. Truly a fruitful journey! https://t.co/DULmwBXQZs

📢Out now: many fungi carry their genomes in separate nuclei, but what is the advantage? AMF have two dynamic nuclear populations with distinct roles: https://t.co/api24dXtfq

We studied the population genetics of introgression in grapevine domestication and found that introgression shaped the aroma of wine grapes with an increased genetic burden. @PNASNews @grapetweets @IVES_publisher @ViticultureTips @VitisGen @GrapeResearch

Domesticated grapevines spread to Europe around 3,000 years ago. Previous studies have revealed genomic signals of introgression from wild to culti...

New Editorial: "Flourish with the wild" https://t.co/Iu1eq8lBVj Domestication of crops wild relatives promoted the rise of civilizations and shaped cultures (). However, shrinkage of their populations worldwide demands better conservation to retain their valuable biodiversity.
