Visit our genomic pumpkin patch! Available now are chrom-length upgrades for cultivated pumpkins Cucurbita pepo, C. moschata and C. maxima, original drafts from (Sun et al. 2017) in Mol. Plant @CellPressNews and (Montero-Pau et al. 2018) @PlantBiotechJ dnazoo.org/post/pumpkin-patc…

Pumpkin patch

Cucurbita (Latin for gourd) is a genus of herbaceous plants. Five species are grown worldwide for their edible plants that we all know as pumpkins and squashes. Cucurbits are native to Andes and...

Researchers discover genes that give vegetables their shape

From elongated oblongs to near-perfect spheres, vegetables come in almost every size and shape. But what differentiates a fingerling potato from a russet or a Roma tomato from a beefsteak? Research...

You may have seen this story about the @CurrentBiology paper arguing that the sweet potato dispersed to Polynesia. The methods are flawed, the conclusions are wrong. Here's my reanalysis: github.com/mmatschiner/kumar… Please RT to help undo misinformation. xitter.cf/carlzimmer/status/9844…
