The paper tests if climate-associated genomic variation predicts phenotypic adaptation in European wild apple, finding genomic offsets link to bud-break timing but not other traits.

This study shows that conserved transcriptional plasticity, not local adaptation, is the main molecular response to climate variation in apples.

This study shows domestication altered apple defense responses and host-aphid interaction networks, with cultivated apples showing stronger inducible defenses and higher aphid performance.

This study compares domestication routes in European and East Asian pears, finding weak bottlenecks, gene flow, and no cost-of-domestication effect.

This study uses genome and transcriptome data from apple species to show how selection and gene flow shaped the cultivated apple genome, revealing distinct gene pools and adaptive introgression patterns.
