The Genome of Chenopodium ficifolium: Developing Genetic Resources and a Diploid Model System for Allotetraploid Quinoa
Abstract High-quality nuclear, chloroplast, and preliminary mitochondrial genomes have been assembled and annotated for the B-genome diploid (BB: 2n = 2x = 18) figleaf goosefoot (Chenopodium ficifolium). The primary objective was to advance a simplified model system for genetic characterization and improvement of allotetraploid (AABB: 2n = 4x = 36) quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa), a nutritionally valuable, halophytic orphan crop. In addition to its diploidy and favorably small genome size, the C.
A pangenome and pantranscriptome of hexaploid oat
Abstract Oat grain is a traditional human food rich in dietary fiber that contributes to improved human health. Interest in the crop has surged in recent years owing to its use as the basis for plant-based milk analogs. Oat is an allohexaploid with a large, repeat-rich genome that was shaped by subgenome exchanges over evolutionary timescales.
Understanding the Genomic Evolution of Avena
Keywords genomic evolution, avena, A. Sativa, A. byzantina Department Plant and Wildlife Sciences Abstract Previous studies have shown that chromosomal rearrangements largely influence changes in the genetic information found in the genus Avena (oat). Examinations of approximately 90 accessions of A. sterilis, the wild ancestor of A. Sativa and A.
Gene Discovery: Understanding Oat Biosynthetic Pathways through Characterization of the ADP-Glucose Pyrophosphorylase Gene
Keywords gene discovery, oat biosynthetic pathways, ADP glucose pyrophosphorylase gene Department Plant and Wildlife Sciences Abstract Grains that are high in soluble hemicellulose fiber, such as oat, provide numerous health benefits to consumers. These benefits include decreased risk of heart disease and lowered cholesterol. For this reason, information regarding genes that are involved in regulating starch and fiber synthesis in oat is highly valuable to breeders and cereal companies.
"Biochemical characterization of the oat CslF6 mixed-linkage glucan syn" by Alexander E. Chu and Eric N. Jellen
Keywords biochemical characterization, oat CslF6, mixed-linkage glucan synthase Department Plant and Wildlife Sciences Abstract The central dogma of molecular biology teaches that the information of life is stored in DNA, a linear chain of nucleotide molecules. The information in DNA nucleotides is then transcribed into RNA, which encodes the amino acids needed to make proteins. These chemically active proteins are responsible for nearly all the processes of life in the cell.

A chromosome-scale assembly of the quinoa genome provides insights into the structure and dynamics of its subgenomes - Communications Biology
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an allotetraploid seed crop with the potential to help address global food security concerns. Genomes have been assembled for four accessions of quinoa; however, all assemblies are fragmented and do not reflect known chromosome biology. Here, we use in vitro and in vivo Hi-C data to produce a chromosome-scale assembly of the Chilean accession PI 614886 (QQ74).

The mosaic oat genome gives insights into a uniquely healthy cereal crop - Nature
Abstract Cultivated oat (Avena sativa L.) is an allohexaploid (AACCDD, 2n = 6x = 42) thought to have been domesticated more than 3,000 years ago while growing as a weed in wheat, emmer and barley fields in Anatolia1,2. Oat has a low carbon footprint, substantial health benefits and the potential to replace animal-based food products. However, the lack of a fully annotated reference genome has hampered efforts to deconvolute its complex evolutionary history and functional gene dynamics.
"Introduction and Evaluation of 10 Hybrid Quinoa x Pitseed Goosefoot Li" by Carter D. Allred, Mike Banda et al.
Protein deficiency is common amongst subsistence farmers in much of the developing world. It has been estimated, for example, that over one third of residents of rural Malawi are protein deficient. Adding to this problem in Malawi is the fact that there is only one brief rainy season, during which all crops are grown. Other countries with as dry a climate in the region have low population density, which allows them to reap more from their annual maize harvest.
