This study compares genotype-dependent transcriptional responses to prolonged heat stress in three Capsicum annuum accessions, revealing distinct gene expression patterns and functional enrichments associated with heat tolerance.

This paper develops a pangenomic framework for globe artichoke and identifies a compact SNP set for varietal fingerprinting and germplasm conservation.

This study examines long-term salinity effects on two eggplant genotypes, revealing genotype-specific transcriptional reprogramming linked to salt tolerance.

This study compares drought responses in two eggplant genotypes using transcriptomics, identifying stage-specific molecular mechanisms that distinguish drought tolerance from sensitivity.

This study identifies anthropic and environmental selective events during eggplant domestication using genome-wide association and genotype-environment association analyses.

The paper identifies SmGLK2 as the gene controlling fruit green netting in eggplants, showing mutations that disrupt chlorophyll biosynthesis and contribute to fruit color diversity.

The paper identifies mutations in SmAPRR2 as key drivers of chlorophyll loss in eggplant fruit peel, revealing independent evolutionary origins of this trait.

The paper introduces MCSeEd, a reference-free ddRAD method for whole-genome methylation profiling across multiple contexts, including 6mA, and provides a bioinformatic pipeline for differential methylation and SNP calling.
