This study shows that ectopic gene conversion drives rapid adaptation in plutellid moths by diversifying glucosinolate sulfatases, enabling them to detoxify diverse host plants.

This study identifies FDK1 as a regulator of coumarin metabolism and iron homeostasis in Arabidopsis under alkaline iron deficiency.

The paper presents the genome sequence of Tropaeolum majus and identifies genes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis, including those required for flavonol glycoside production.

The paper shows that structural variations in glucosinolates affect bacterial community recruitment in Arabidopsis thaliana, with allyl-GLS enriching Burkholderiales bacteria.
