More genomic resources for less-studied crops.

Abstract

Many of the crop species considered to be minor on a global scale, yet are important locally for food security in the developing world, have remained less-studied crops. Recent years have witnessed the development of large-scale genomic and genetic resources, including simple sequence repeat, single nucleotide polymorphism and diversity array technology markers, expressed sequence tags or transcript reads, bacterial artificial chromosome libraries, genetic and physical maps, and genetic stocks with rich genetic diversity, such as core reference sets and introgression lines in these crops. These resources have the potential to accelerate gene discovery and initiate molecular breeding in these crops, thereby enhancing crop productivity to ensure food security in developing countries.

  • Genomic resources for sweet potato were deficient until 2010 due to its complex hexaploid genome.

    “Comparing with other main crops or model organisms, the genomic resources for this crop are deficient until 2010 due to its complex hexaploid genome [8].”

    From Digital Gene Expression Analysis Based on Integrated De Novo Transcriptome Assembly of Sweet Potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] (2012) · cites this paper as [8]

    The resource table (Glossary, p. 2) identifies sweet potato as hexaploid and rates several of its genomic resources as moderate or unavailable; the Transcriptomic resources section (p. 4) contrasts its historically limited resources with those of better-studied cereals. The paper does not say that hexaploidy caused the resource shortfall, and it describes resources becoming available by 2010 rather than remaining deficient until then. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
