This study characterizes the circadian transcriptome of Rubroshorea leprosula, revealing conserved but less robust circadian rhythms compared to Arabidopsis.

The paper investigates the molecular evolution of terpene synthase genes in Fagaceae, revealing convergent evolution of isoprene synthase activity in two lineages within subgenus Quercus.

The paper develops a mathematical model to analyze optimal strategies for HIPV emission and perception in plant defense against herbivory, showing they co-evolve under intermediate herbivory levels.

This study investigates the evolutionary origins of 2-year fruiting in Fagaceae by analyzing phylogenetic data and ancestral state reconstructions across 88 species.

This study develops a mathematical model to infer somatic mutation dynamics in tropical trees by incorporating stem cell lineage replacement and comparing predictions with empirical data.

This study compares seasonal gene expression across four tree species, finding conserved winter rhythms and divergent summer patterns, suggesting a shared molecular calendar in winter.

The paper identifies the IspS gene responsible for isoprene emission in Quercus serrata and shows functional differences in related genes from non-emitting species.

The paper tests the overwintering hypothesis for delayed fertilization in Japanese stone oak by observing pollen tube growth and ovule development across seasons.

This study develops a spatially-explicit model to analyze the evolutionary dynamics of BVOC emission strategies in plants, finding that intra-individual communication promotes emission while inter-individual communication favors cheaters.

The paper evaluates genetic diversity within trees using three indexes to assess different evolutionary effects of somatic mutations.

The paper identifies BEH3 as a stabilizer in Arabidopsis secondary vascular development through coexpression network analysis and mathematical modeling.
