Researchers collected lotus accessions and analyzed their genomes to study the domestication process. They identified genes involved in specific developmental processes and found metabolic pathways specific to each subgroup. This research provides valuable information for future lotus genomic studies and understanding domestication.
The researchers modified centromeric histone H3 in carrot plants to induce uniparental genome elimination, potentially leading to ploidy changes. This may be important for developing high-yield hybrid cultivars in carrots.
