Genome assembly of wild tea tree DASZ reveals pedigree and selection history of tea varieties
Weiyi Zhang,Youjun Zhang,Haiji Qiu,Yafei Guo,Haoliang Wan,Xiaoliang Zhang,Federico Scossa,Saleh Alseekh,Qinghua Zhang,Pu Wang,Li Xu,Maximilian Schmidt,Xinxin Jia,Daili Li,Anting Zhu,Fei Guo,Wei Chen,Dejiang Ni,Björn Usadel,Björn Usadel,Björn Usadel,Alisdair R. Fernie,Weiwei Wen +22 more
TL;DR: The assembly of a high-quality chromosome-scale reference genome for an ancient tea tree and transcriptome of 217 diverse tea accessions are reported, which clarify pedigree of Chinese tea cultivars and show tea may not have undergone long-term artificial directional selection on flavor-related metabolites.
Population genomics unravels the Holocene history of bread wheat and its relatives
Xuebo Zhao,Yafei Guo,Lipeng Kang,Changbin Yin,Aoyue Bi,Daxing Xu,Zhiliang Zhang,Jijin Zhang,Xiaohan Yang,Jun Xu,Songjie Xu,Xinyue Song,Ming Zhang,Yiwen Li,Philip Kear,Jing Wang,Zhiyong Liu,Xiang-Dong Fu,Fei Lu +18 more
TL;DR: This study found that bread wheat originated from the southwest coast of the Caspian Sea and underwent a slow speciation process, lasting ~3,300 yr owing to persistent gene flow from its relatives, and identified convergent adaptation during bread wheat’s spread across Eurasia.

Transcriptional profiling of catechins biosynthesis genes during tea plant leaf development
TL;DR: Analysis of the transcriptomes of tea leaves during five different leaf stages of development identified candidate genes associated with the regulation of catechins biosynthesis during leaf development in tea plant that are involved in phenylpropanoid and flavonoid biosynthesis.

Reply to: Where was wheat domesticated?
Xuebo Zhao,Yafei Guo,Fei Lu +2 more
TL;DR: The phylogeny of TtBtr1-B cannot conclusively determine the origin of domesticated wheat from either the southern or northern Levant, and the result does not support the analyses by either Lev-Mirom and Distelfeld or Zhao et al., indicating the complexity of tracing the ancestry of the TTBtr 1-B mutation.
Population genomics unravels the Holocene history of Triticum-Aegilops species
Xuebo Zhao,Yafei Guo,Lipeng Kang,Aoyue Bi,Daxing Xu,Zhiliang Zhang,Jijin Zhang,Xiaohan Yang,Jun Xu,Songjie Xu,Xinyue Song,Jing Zhang,Yiwen Li,Philip Kear,Jing Wang,Changbin Yin,Zhiyong Liu,Xiang-Dong Fu,Fei Lu +18 more
TL;DR: The authors analyzed whole-genome sequences of 795 wheats and found that bread wheat originated southwest of the Caspian Sea ∼11,700 years ago and underwent a slow speciation process, lasting ∼3,300 years due to persistent gene flow from wild relatives.
