The paper assembles the genome of Notholithocarpus densiflorus and identifies genetic variation across 11 individuals with varying susceptibility to sudden oak death.

This study constructs a super-pangenome of North American wild grape species to capture genetic diversity and identify loci associated with adaptive traits like salt tolerance.

This study reconstructs the genomes of Phytophthora megakarya and P. palmivora to understand virulence differences and evolutionary history.
