The International Oryza Map Alignment Project (IOMAP): The Americas - Past achievements and future directions.
The wild relatives of rice hold unexplored genetic diversity that can be employed to feed an estimated population of 10 billion by 2050. The Oryza Map Alignment Project (OMAP) initiated in 2003 has provided comprehensive genomic resources for comparative, evolutionary and functional characterization of the wild relatives of rice, facilitating... -

The origin and evolution of open habitats in North America inferred by Bayesian deep learning models.
Some of the most extensive terrestrial biomes today consist of open vegetation, including temperate grasslands and tropical savannas. These biomes originated relatively recently in Earth’s history, likely replacing forested habitats in the second half of the Cenozoic. However, the timing of their origination and expansion remains disputed. Here, we present...Andermann, Tobias ; Strömberg, Caroline A. E. ; Antonelli, Alexandre ; Silvestro, Daniele

A haploid pseudo-chromosome genome assembly for a keystone sagebrush species of western North American rangelands.
Increased ecological disturbances, species invasions, and climate change are creating severe conservation problems for several plant species that are widespread and foundational. Understanding the genetic diversity of these species and how it relates to adaptation to these stressors are necessary for guiding conservation and restoration efforts. This need is particularly...Melton, Anthony E ; Child, Andrew W ; Beard, Richard S ; Dumaguit, Carlos Dave C ; Forbey, Jennifer S …

Mediterranean Subspecies versus Californian Varieties: An Example from Acmispon (Leguminosae, Loteae).
The tribe Loteae of the family Leguminosae has major centers of diversity in the Mediterranean Region and California. It is used here to illustrate different traditions of taxonomic interpretation of infraspecific variation among researchers in different continents. Recent accounts of European and Mediterranean taxa commonly make an emphasis on recognizing...Sokoloff, Dmitry D. ; Akulova-Barlow, Zoya V. ; Govaerts, Rafaël

Cortinarius subgenus Leprocybe, unexpected diversity and significant differences in species compositions between western and eastern North America.
The focus of this paper is the North American species of in subg. . Eighteen species, including twelve new ones, and two tentative (aff.) species, are delimited based on morphological and molecular data (DNA ITS-LSU sequences). Existing type specimens of species in subg. were also studied, and neo- or epitypes...Ammirati, J. ; Liimatainen, K. ; Bojantchev, D. ; Peintner, U. ; Kuhnert-Finkernagel, R. …

Type studies and fourteen new North American species of Cortinarius section Anomali reveal high continental species diversity.
Section is a species-rich group in North America belonging to , the most diverse genus in the Agaricales. This study is based on extensive morphological investigations and molecular methods using 191 nrDNA ITS sequence data and recovered 43 phylogenetic species from which 14 are described here as new to science....Dima, Bálint ; Liimatainen, Kare ; Niskanen, Tuula ; Bojantchev, Dimitar ; Harrower, Emma …
