A new journal, the Journal of Plant Breeding and Crop Science (JPBCS) is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal published monthly dedicated to increasing the depth of Crop Science across disciplines with the ultimate aim of improving plant research. JPBCS will cover all areas of plant breeding and crop science. The journal welcomes the submission of manuscripts that meet the general criteria of significance and scientific excellence, and will publish:

The Gramene team is happy to announce the release of our 29th build. We have upgraded our Ensembl genome browser to version 52 and added or updated six genomes (Arabidopsis lyrata, Vitisvinifera [grape], Populus trichocarpa [poplar], Sorghum bicolor, Oryza glaberrima short arm, Arabidosis thaliana updated to TAIR8). We feature new mappings of selected plant sequences to our 9 sequenced genomes and a reorganization of the cereal alignment contigview tracks as well as the results of our new whole genome alignments from Ensembl's blastz-chain-net pipeline.

A paper in this week's issue of Nature announces the completion of the sequencing of the genome of Sorghum bicolor. This is only the second cereal species (after rice) to have been completely sequenced. Most notably, sorghum uses the C4 photosynthetic pathway in contrast to rice, which uses the C3 pathway. The C4 pathway is more efficient in fixing carbon dioxide under high temperature and light intensity.
