Repeat turnover meets stable chromosomes: repetitive DNA sequences mark speciation and gene pool boundaries in sugar beet and wild beets

The paper investigates how repetitive DNA sequences contribute to chromosomal differentiation and speciation in sugar beet and wild beets, identifying repeat emergence and loss patterns across gene pools.

Homoeologous non-reciprocal translocation explains a major QTL for seed lignin content in oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.)

The paper identifies a homoeologous non-reciprocal translocation in a major QTL for reduced seed lignin content in oilseed rape, leading to the deletion of the lignin biosynthesis gene PAL4.

Pangenome of cultivated beet and crop wild relatives reveals parental relationships of a tetraploid wild beet

The paper constructs a pangenome of cultivated beet and wild relatives to identify genomic regions with beneficial traits and resolve the parental relationships of a tetraploid wild beet.

An improved reference of the grapevine genome supports reasserting the origin of the PN40024 highly-homozygous genotype

The paper improves the grapevine genome reference PN40024.v4 using long-read sequencing, enhancing continuity, haplotype resolution, and gene annotation.

A fully phased interspecific grapevine rootstock genome sequence representing V. riparia and V. cinerea and allele-aware annotation of the phylloxera resistance locus Rdv1

The paper presents a fully phased genome sequence of the phylloxera-resistant grapevine rootstock Borner and identifies candidate resistance genes in the Rdv1 locus.

Mapping-by-sequencing reveals genomic regions associated with seed quality parameters in Brassica napus

This study identifies genomic regions associated with seed quality traits in Brassica napus using mapping-by-sequencing, revealing new intervals and potential causal genes for seed glucosinolate, protein, and oil content.

Complete pan-plastome sequences enable high resolution phylogenetic classification of sugar beet and closely related crop wild relatives

The paper sequences and assembles complete plastome genomes from 18 beet species to resolve their phylogenetic relationships with high resolution.

Transcriptomic analysis of temporal shifts in berry development between two grapevine cultivars of the Pinot family reveals potential genes controlling ripening time

The paper identifies DEGs between two Pinot grapevine cultivars with different ripening times and proposes candidate genes for ripening time control.

A Partially Phase-Separated Genome Sequence Assembly of the Vitis Rootstock 'Börner' (Vitis riparia x Vitis cinerea) and its Exploitation for Marker Development and Targeted Mapping

The paper develops a genome assembly for the grapevine rootstock 'Börner' and uses it to identify markers for mapping a resistance locus against downy mildew.

Characterization of genes and alleles involved in the control of flowering time in grapevine

The paper identifies allele combinations in candidate genes associated with early flowering in grapevine and analyzes their expression during development.

A Chromosome-level Sequence Assembly Reveals the Structure of the Arabidopsis thaliana Nd-1 Genome and its Gene Set

The paper presents a chromosome-arm level assembly of the Arabidopsis thaliana Nd-1 genome, revealing genomic rearrangements and gene set differences compared to the Col-0 reference.
