Reticulate History of Southern South American Wild Potatoes: Recurrent Hybridization, Cytonuclear Discordance, and Phylogenetic Placement of Solanum malmeanum

This study investigates the evolutionary history of wild potatoes in the Petota clade, revealing recurrent hybridization, cytonuclear discordance, and chloroplast capture affecting species boundaries.

Catcher in the rye: museomics reveals the identity of cereal remains recovered from a late nineteenth century antique furniture

The paper identifies and characterizes cereal remains from 19th-century furniture using genome skimming and DNA analysis, revealing it as a Central European rye at the transition between landrace and improved variety.

Cytonuclear Conflict and Reticulate Evolution in the Morelloid Clade (Solanum, Solanaceae): Insights from Genome Skimming and Network Phylogenomics

The paper investigates reticulate evolution in the Morelloid clade using genome skimming and phylogenomic methods, revealing widespread chloroplast capture events.

Making the most out of it: shallow genome-skimming possibilities for the systematics of prickly lineages of Solanum (Solanaceae)

This study evaluates shallow genome-skimming for phylogenetic inference in Solanum, finding it effective for SNP datasets but limited in recovering complete mitochondrial genomes and low-copy nuclear genes.

A new phylogeny and phylogenetic classification for Solanaceae

A 1,474-species 10-marker phylogeny and a 110-taxon Angiosperms353 phylogenomic dataset support a rank-free PhyloCode classification defining 38 clades across Solanaceae, including 16 infrageneric clades in Solanum.

Uncovering the hologenomic basis of an extraordinary plant invasion

The paper investigates the genomic basis of invasiveness in Ambrosia artemisiifolia, finding selection signatures in defense genes and reduced pathogen prevalence in invasive populations.

Plastid genomics of Nicotiana (Solanaceae): insights into molecular evolution, positive selection and the origin of the maternal genome of Aztec tobacco (Nicotiana rustica)

The paper assembles and analyzes plastid genomes of five Nicotiana species to study molecular evolution, positive selection, and the maternal origin of N. rustica.

Complete chloroplast genomes of Anthurium huixtlense and Pothos scandens (Pothoideae, Araceae): unique inverted repeat expansion and contraction affect rate of evolution

The paper reports chloroplast genomes of two Pothoideae species, identifying IR contraction/expansion effects on gene duplication and mutation rates.
