Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Sesame is an important high-quality oil seed crop. The sesame genome was de novo sequenced and assembled in 2014 (version 1.0); however, the number of anchored pseudomolecules was higher than the chromosome number (2n = 2x = 26) due to the lack of a high-density genetic map with 13 linkage groups. RESULTS: We resequenced a permanent population consisting of 430 recombinant inbred lines and constructed...
