This study analyzes ancient U/V sex chromosomes in Polytrichaceae mosses, showing that recombination suppression has limited SDR expansion and functional degeneration despite their 124 million-year-old origin.

The paper genotypes the self-incompatibility locus in Brassica insularis using NGS methods, identifying S-alleles and showing low compatibility in a small population.

The paper investigates sRNA precursors at the Arabidopsis self-incompatibility locus, showing they repress recessive alleles through non-canonical pathways and generate diverse sRNA molecules.

The paper identifies de novo translated regions in Arabidopsis by analyzing ribosome profiling data and genome comparisons, showing their role in novel gene emergence.

This study investigates the evolutionary history and functional specialization of miRNA genes in Arabidopsis halleri and A. lyrata, showing rapid birth-and-death dynamics and integration into core biological processes.

This study shows that genetic incompatibilities in pollen cause segregation distortion in Arabidopsis species and populations, increasing with genetic distance and contributing to reproductive isolation.

The paper examines the genetic load linked to the self-incompatibility locus in Arabidopsis species, finding limited genomic influence of balancing selection on linked regions.
