The paper investigates factors influencing the retention of laterally acquired genes in plants, finding that regulatory compatibility and expression similarity to donors increase persistence.

The paper identifies genetic precursors for C4 photosynthesis in grasses and shows that gene turnover facilitated its repeated evolution in the PACMAD lineage.

This study constructs a nuclear phylogeny of grasses using genome-scale data, showing agreement with plastome phylogeny and evidence for repeated reticulation events.

This study identifies genomic regions associated with C4 photosynthesis traits in Alloteropsis semialata using GWAS, highlighting key regulators of the C4 cycle and leaf anatomy.
