This study presents two high-quality rose genomes and constructs a Rosa pangenome to explore genetic diversity, evolution, and breeding potential in the genus Rosa.

This paper investigates whether CRISPR/Cas9-induced DNA breaks can break linkage drag at the ToMV locus in tomato, but finds no increase in recombination frequency compared to wild-type plants.

This study identifies different physiological and transcriptomic responses in potato cultivars under salt stress, revealing that acclimation ability, not initial root protection, determines long-term resilience.

This study identifies gRNA efficiency as the main determinant of CRISPR/Cas9-induced inversion rates and sizes in tomato, with large inversions being less frequent due to potential transport limitations.

This paper presents a high-quality de novo genome assembly of Chrysanthemum makinoi, a wild diploid ancestor of cultivated chrysanthemums, using long-read and short-read sequencing technologies.

The paper introduces polyqtlR, a tool for QTL analysis in polyploid crops, enabling detection of QTL, exploration of allelic composition, and analysis of meiotic processes.

This paper introduces PopPoly, a method for estimating polyploid haplotypes and improving genotype dosage in F1-populations using short sequence reads and pedigree information.

This paper develops an integer linear programming method for haplotype assembly in autotetraploid potato, showing improved accuracy over existing methods on both simulated and real data.

polymapR is an R package for genetic linkage analysis and map construction in polyploid crops, handling triploid, tetraploid, and hexaploid data with preferential pairing correction.
