This study identifies WOX1 mutations as the genetic basis of the prickleless S locus in blackberry and red raspberry, enabling gene editing to create prickleless cultivars.

The paper develops a Flex-Seq SNP panel for red raspberry and validates it through linkage maps and QTL identification for agronomic traits.

This study investigates the gene regulatory networks in Mimosa pudica leaves responding to mechanical disturbances, finding shifts in gene expression from flavonoid biosynthesis to stress resistance pathways with repeated stress.

The paper presents a chromosome-length genome assembly and annotation of the blackberry species Rubus argutus, identifying candidate genes for primocane-fruiting.
