The paper assesses how genomic regions influence heterosis in Arabidopsis thaliana crosses, finding environment- and background-dependent non-additive effects and epistasis.

The paper introduces a panel of near-isogenic lines from Arabidopsis thaliana to study additive and non-additive genetic effects on ecologically important traits, identifying FLC's role and novel epistatic interactions in flowering time.

The paper investigates postzygotic isolation in hybridizing Mimulus species, finding persistent hybrid incompatibilities despite ongoing introgression.

This study maps genetic causes of hybrid incompatibility in monkeyflowers across generations, identifying structural and genic incompatibilities that reduce hybrid viability.
