The paper examines subgenome dynamics in sour cherry, finding expression bias and homoeologous exchange events across different accessions and developmental stages.

This study identifies PLL1 as a key gene for haustorium development in parasitic plants and shows its functional role through gene silencing experiments.

The paper presents a haplotype-resolved genome assembly of Amborella trichopoda, identifying a young ZW sex chromosome system with a 3-Megabase sex-determination region that shows limited degeneration.

The paper presents a haplotype-resolved, chromosome-scale genome for the apple cultivar WA 38, using short and long read sequencing data to assemble and segregate parental haplotomes.

This paper presents a chromosome-scale, phased genome assembly for the dAnjou pear, revealing gene content and duplication patterns.

The paper reports the genome assembly and annotation of Malus angustifolia, identifies SNPs and structural variants, and explores phylogenetic relationships with Eurasian Malus species.

This paper constructs and analyzes the first pangenomes for blueberry and cranberry, revealing high genetic diversity and identifying genes associated with disease resistance and fruit quality.

This paper presents a high-quality, haplotype-resolved genome assembly of Malus fusca and identifies structural variants and a fire blight resistance locus.

Trio-binned PacBio HiFi reads plus a 3.6 M-variant recombination map give phase-resolved assemblies of octoploid strawberry 'Royal Royce' and FaRR1, a 786.5 Mb haploid reference with 28 pseudomolecules.

This study develops a machine learning model to classify genes as core or dispensable in pangenomes using a single reference genome, avoiding the need for extensive pangenome construction.

The paper characterizes species-level variation in conserved noncoding sequences (CNS) across Arabidopsis thaliana accessions and finds non-random diversity in CNS with shared variants across accessions.

This study identifies and characterizes R-genes in octoploid strawberry and related species, revealing insights into disease resistance genetics and introducing new resources for research.
