Identifying leaf anatomy and metabolic regulators that underpin C4 photosynthesis in Alloteropsis semialata

This study identifies genomic regions associated with C4 photosynthesis traits in Alloteropsis semialata using GWAS, highlighting key regulators of the C4 cycle and leaf anatomy.

Implementing a framework of carbon and nitrogen feedback responses into a plant resource allocation model

The paper develops a plant resource allocation model incorporating carbon and nitrogen feedback responses, showing it can replicate experimental results on plant mass changes under environmental perturbations.

Upregulation of C4 characteristics does not consistently improve photosynthetic performance in intraspecific hybrids of a grass

The paper examines whether upregulating C4 characteristics in grass hybrids improves photosynthetic performance, finding that it depends on coordinated anatomical and biochemical changes.

Physiological diversity enhanced by recurrent divergence and secondary gene flow within a grass species

The paper traces the evolutionary history of photosynthetic traits in Alloteropsis semialata, showing how secondary gene flow and divergence contributed to physiological diversity.

Phylogenomics supports a Cenozoic rediversification of the "living fossil" Isoetes

The paper uses genomic data and fossil records to date the origin of extant Isoetes species, finding their diversification occurred in the mid-Paleogene, not the Triassic.
