Genetics Studies

Genome sequencing reveals the genetic architecture of heterostyly and domestication history of common buckwheat.

Scientists studied the evolution of buckwheat, a crop domesticated in China. They discovered genes involved in self-compatibility and identified the region of domestication. This research will aid in buckwheat research and breeding.
