A new reference genome and web-based tools for S. lycopersicoides will help tomato researchers and breeders improve the crop, such as by improving nutrition and resistance to disease.

Thank The Plant Journal for writing a Research Highlight (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/tp…) for our tomato sRNA paper (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/tp…). Also cover of the issue (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…). Boyce Thompson Inst Cornell CALS Ying Wang (Ph.D)

Zhangjun Fei and colleagues have updated the cucurbit genome database with 34 assemblies from different species or subspecies in the cucurbit family, including cucumbers, melons, watermelons, squashes, gourds and more!

Congrats to Zhangjun Fei, Lukas Mueller and Jim Giovannoni for this well-earned achievement!! 👏👏👏🥳🍾🥂 Zhangjun Fei

BTI’s Carmen Catalá led the first spatiotemporal study of the effects of prolonged water stress on tomato fruits, identifying genes that could help fruit adapt to drought conditions.

Glad to share our collaborative work on the super-pangenome of tomato constructed from chromosome-scale reference-grade assemblies of nine wild tomato species, a landrace and a cultivar(M82) we newly generated. Boyce Thompson Inst Cornell CALS nature.com/articles/s4158…

We had our first in-person meeting at MSU since we started our second NIFA SCRI project. Great attendance and lots of progress towards disease-resistant cucurbit crops! NC State Veggie Pathology Christine Smart Mary Hausbeck Zhangjun Fei R Grumet


Scientists at BTI have constructed a comprehensive “super-pangenome” for watermelon and its wild relatives, uncovering beneficial genes lost during domestication that could improve disease resistance and fruit quality of this vital fruit crop. Zhangjun Fei btiscience.org/explore-bti/ne…

My latest essay — on the watermelon. For @SwitchyardTulsa and The Food & Environment Reporting Network thefern.org/2023/12/tell-m…

Kazakhstan’s Tian Shan mountains, where Malus sieversii (a wild apple and primary ancestor of modern apples) thrives may unlock the key to making the fruit more resilient to stress. BTI's Zhangjun Fei recently offered his insight in Smithsonian Magazine. smithsonianmag.com/travel/saving-…

Genome and pangenome of bottle gourd shed light on its population history and diversification Zhao et al. Zhangjun Fei 📖 ow.ly/kY1750QXpTn


The bottle gourd has been used to make bottles, instruments, and containers for over 10,000 years. BTI researchers created a genetic blueprint, gaining insights that could boost food security in a changing world. news.btiscience.org/235954-across-… @newphyt Zhangjun Fei
