The paper shows that growth direction and stiffness differences between epidermal layers cause buckling in Arabidopsis sepals, and that restoring growth alignment and stiffness can prevent buckling.

This study compares reduced-representation and genome-wide data in phylogenomics and population genomics, finding that genome-wide data retain more SNPs, show higher heterozygosity, and provide better phylogenetic support.

This study re-analyzes mobile mRNA datasets and finds that many annotated mobile transcripts lack support from RNA-Seq data due to technical and biological factors.

The paper investigates the evolutionary mechanisms of grass awns, finding that developmental conservation and deep homology drive their repeated evolution and morphological diversity.
