This paper presents a near telomere-to-telomere, haplotype-resolved genome assembly of Vellozia tubiflora, a desiccation-tolerant plant, providing genomic resources for evolutionary and comparative studies.

The paper analyzes duckweed clones to resolve taxonomic relationships and finds triploidy is common, with implications for classification and evolution.

The paper identifies an X-linked sex determination mechanism in cannabis and hop, showing that an X-linked gene involved in ethylene biosynthesis controls female inflorescence development, while the Y chromosome lacks clear sex-determining genes.

This study examines transcriptomic responses in cranberry hybrids under heat and cold stress, identifying potential for cold tolerance through introgression from a wild relative.

This study identifies an expanded domoic acid biosynthesis gene cluster in Nitzschia navis-varingica through genome sequencing and biochemical validation, revealing its unique organization and evolutionary significance.

The paper constructs a sorghum pangenome from ex-PVP cultivars and a wild accession, identifying structural variants and selective sweeps linked to adaptation and trait improvement.

This study constructs a chromosome-scale cannabis pangenome to explore genomic diversity and evolution, revealing low diversity in cannabinoid synthase genes and high diversity in other regions.

The paper investigates soil depth's effect on microbial communities in Sorghum bicolor fields, finding significant changes in composition and diversity with depth.

The paper demonstrates that 95% ethanol preserves fish blood and plant tissue for high-quality genome assembly using Nanopore sequencing.
