This study identifies genetic loci associated with fatty acid composition stability in sunflower across environments using GWAS and finds a large introgression linked to stability under high heat.

This study investigates the genomic basis of species richness disparity in Asteraceae by analyzing genome duplications and regulatory evolution.

The paper investigates how reduced CLAVATA3 peptide signaling contributes to the evolution of capitula in Asteraceae plants and shows its impact on stem cell regulation and flower development.

This study examines how historical breeding practices in sunflower affect leaf ecophysiology and specialized metabolism by analyzing 288 cultivated lines across heterotic groups.

This study analyzes the genomic and phenotypic impacts of wild introgressions in sunflower, finding that while some traits improve, most introgressions negatively affect yield and quality.
