Spinach, rich in nutrients such as vitamins and mineral elements, is an important leaf vegetable, and my country, as the world's largest producer and producer of spinach, is growing its cultivation every year. The wang guanghua research team of the shanghai teacher training university has been working on the extraction and genomics of key spinach seed resources, evaluation and innovative use and critical genes, studies focusing on the core spinach seed system, spinach resistance and quality molecular mechanisms, and female breeding techniques. Eight new spinach varieties have been selected, with a cumulative area of over 10,000 acres。
Recently, the team produced another major landmark study in the field of spinach genome research. In collaboration with several scientific institutions, such as professor fizhang of the boyce thompson institute (bti) of cornell university, a team of research institutes, a detailed mapping of a new generation of spinach genomes, a critical agronomic genetic base and a history of spinach domestication。
On december 13th, the study was based on a "genomic analysis to reveal the genetic basis of spinach domestication and agronomy."The topic is published online in nature communications。
Re-establishment and evolution of spinach genome sequencing and quinoa ancestral nuclears
The study is known to have completed a new generation of high-quality chromosomal scale reference genomes using the pacbio 3-generation sequence and a joint analysis of the hi-c 3-d genome, assembled genomes of highly accurate, complete and continuous size, genomics of 894. 3 mb, coNtig n50 was raised to 23. 8 mb, and approximately 98. 3 per cent of the genome sequences were anchored and sequenced on six spinach chromosomes, the highest quality of the spinach genome sequence to date. On this basis, a genomic mutation analysis was carried out of 305 plant and wild spinach seed resources, an analysis of the genetic transformation structure of the important agronomic form of spinach was carried out using gwas, and key candidate genetic sites for the control of frosting resistance, herbic acid content, smoke resistance and strains were excavated, revealing molecular mechanisms for breeding spinach genetic diversity. The history of the formation and evolution of spinach chromosomes was systematically analysed through evolutionary and domestication analysis, which revealed the important role of artificial choice in the evolution of spinach's important agronomic form, in-depth study of spinach genomics, utilization of excellent genetic resources, etc. Research on vegetable genetics provides important data support and is of great relevance and scientific theoretical value。
