This study evaluates three transgene expression constructs in lettuce using the RUBY reporter, finding that the LsUBI promoter/terminator provides stable, uniform expression while the AtUBI promoter/tRBCS offers an intermediate option.

The paper develops a linked-read sequencing method to efficiently identify meiotic crossovers at kilobase resolution in pooled recombinants, validated in Arabidopsis.

The paper generates a high-density crossover map in Arabidopsis thaliana to study how structural variants and epigenetic features influence meiotic crossover positioning.

The paper characterizes the structural diversity of plant mitochondrial DNA in lettuce species using long-read and short-read sequencing, revealing complex isoforms and recombination events.
