Low parental conflict, no endosperm hybrid barriers, and maternal bias in genomic imprinting in selfing Draba species

The paper shows that selfing Draba species lack endosperm-based hybrid barriers and exhibit maternal bias in genomic imprinting, suggesting reduced parental conflict and adaptive maternal expression.

The genomic basis of the plant island syndrome in Darwin's giant daisies

This study characterizes the genomic basis of the plant island syndrome in Darwin's giant daisies by analyzing the genome of Scalesia atractyloides, identifying subgenomes, polyploidization events, and genes under selection.

What can cold-induced transcriptomes of Arctic Brassicaceae tell us about the evolution of cold tolerance?

The paper compares cold-induced transcriptomes of three Arctic Brassicaceae species to Arabidopsis thaliana to understand cold tolerance evolution and find shared and species-specific gene responses.

Demography And Mating System Shape The Genome-Wide Impact Of Purifying Selection In Arabis alpina

This study examines how mating system and demography influence purifying selection in Arabis alpina using whole-genome resequencing data from 38 individuals.
