The paper investigates the genetic basis of blue floral pigmentation in orchids, finding an unexpected pathway involving duplicated genes and regulatory changes rather than the expected CYP75A pathway.

This study identifies conserved and divergent terpene and apocarotenoid pathways in an early-diverging orchid, linking molecular evolution to floral scent diversification.

The paper investigates whether aliphatic esters in fruits serve as honest signals of quality for seed dispersers, finding they correlate with sugar content in mammal-dispersed species.

This paper presents the first chromosome-scale, haplotype-resolved nuclear genome assembly for Chiloglottis trapeziformis, revealing structural variation and repeat-rich features.
