Fonio millet genome unlocks African orphan crop diversity for agriculture in a changing climate

The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly and re-sequencing data for fonio millet to study its genetic diversity and domestication.

The wild grape genome sequence provides insights into the transition from dioecy to hermaphroditism during grape domestication

This study sequenced the wild grape genome to understand the genetic transition from dioecy to hermaphroditism during grape domestication.

Genetic basis and timing of a major mating system shift in Capsella

This study identifies a dominant loss-of-function mutation in the male self-incompatibility gene SCR as the cause of a recent shift to self-fertilization in Capsella orientalis.

Genetic variation in a complex polyploid: unveiling the dynamic allelic features of sugarcane

The paper investigates allelic expression and genomic behavior in sugarcane, revealing duplicated and nonexpressed genes and challenges in genetic mapping.

The genomic basis of colour pattern polymorphism in the harlequin ladybird

This study identifies the gene pannier as controlling melanic pattern polymorphism in the harlequin ladybird through cis-regulatory allelic variation.

Patterns of polymorphism at the self-incompatibility locus in 1,083 Arabidopsis thaliana genomes

The paper analyzes polymorphism at the S-locus in 1,083 Arabidopsis thaliana genomes to understand the historical loss of self-incompatibility, finding multiple independent origins and recombination events during post-glacial colonization.
