The paper identifies and analyzes putative PSTOL1 homeologs in wheat and their evolutionary relationship with LrK10 orthologs, finding recent divergence and structural differences.

This paper analyzes allelic diversity of the HKT1;5 gene in wheat and evaluates its association with salinity stress tolerance across different species and lines.

This study compares deleterious mutation patterns between sorghum and maize, finding sorghum diverges from the domestication cost hypothesis and develops a gene deleterious index with accuracy over 0.5.

The paper develops deep learning methods that incorporate evolutionary relationships to predict transcript abundance from DNA sequence, achieving auROC values between 0.72 and 0.94.

This study estimates deleterious mutation burden in sorghum and assesses its impact on agronomic traits, finding moderate genetic variance explanation but limited improvement in breeding accuracy due to linkage.
