Abstract excerpt
Celery (Apium graveolens) is a globally cultivated vegetable renowned for its health-promoting and nutraceutical benefits. Exploring its genomic and metabolic diversity can help to facilitate breeding selection. Here, by integrating genomic and metabolomic analyses of 305 globally representative accessions, we reveal pronounced east-west population structure that parallels geographical distribution and varietal...
