The paper tests if climate-associated genomic variation predicts phenotypic adaptation in European wild apple, finding genomic offsets link to bud-break timing but not other traits.

The paper identifies glycosyltransferases involved in the biosynthesis of stilbene glycosides in grapevine wood through metabolomic and genetic analyses.

This study compares local and wide genetic crosses in kelp to assess breeding effectiveness without introducing foreign genetic material.

This study shows that conserved transcriptional plasticity, not local adaptation, is the main molecular response to climate variation in apples.

This study performs a GWAS on sugar kelp to identify genetic markers associated with morphometric and metabolic traits, finding major-effect loci and polygenic traits for breeding programs.

The paper evaluates grapevine genotypes with single or pyramided resistance loci against downy mildew during a severe epidemic, showing that pyramiding improves resistance effectiveness.

The paper evaluates the effectiveness of single and pyramided resistance loci in grapevine against Plasmopara viticola, finding that defeated loci can reduce resistance efficacy.

The paper benchmarks genomic, phenomic, and metabolomic prediction models for agronomic traits in grapevine breeding populations, finding genomic prediction most accurate and metabolomic intermediate.

This study identifies genetic loci associated with agronomic traits in grapevines using multiple QTL and GWAS approaches across 1,081 genotypes from a breeding program.

This study uses genome and transcriptome data from apple species to show how selection and gene flow shaped the cultivated apple genome, revealing distinct gene pools and adaptive introgression patterns.

The paper analyzes brown algal genomes to trace the origin and evolution of U/V sex chromosomes, revealing gene gain-driven evolution and the demise of these systems through hermaphroditism and gene hierarchy shifts.

The paper identifies colocalizations between disease resistance QTL and agro-oenological traits in grapevine hybrids and highlights the value of wild Vitis species for improving cultural characteristics.

The paper identifies a genetic locus, ENS1, on chromosome 1 in grapevine associated with susceptibility to esca dieback, linking it to trunk necrosis variations.

This study identifies sex chromosomes and chromosomal rearrangements as key genomic regions driving behavioural sexual isolation between two marine isopod species.

This study analyzes 60 brown algal genomes to identify genomic innovations and evolutionary patterns that enabled their adaptation to coastal ecosystems.

The paper develops a 50K SNP genotyping array for Scots pine to enable genome-wide analyses and improve genetic research and breeding programs.

This paper presents the genome and metabolic network of Ectocarpus subulatus, a stress-tolerant brown alga, and identifies features contributing to its stress tolerance.

The paper introduces instaGRAAL, a Hi-C-based scaffolder that improves chromosome-level genome assemblies for brown algae.

This study shows that TALE HD TFs regulate sporophyte development in two eukaryotic supergroups, indicating an ancient origin of this regulatory system.
