Conservatory, an orthogroup-centric conserved noncoding sequence finder, catalogs 2.3 million unique CNSs across 314 plant genomes and reveals regulatory elements older than angiosperms and seed plants.

The paper shows a neofunctionalized gene in Solanaceae plants became a flowering antagonist, influencing adaptation across species and environments.

The paper investigates cis-regulatory divergence in the CLV3 gene across Arabidopsis and tomato, revealing distinct regulatory strategies and lineage-specific functional redundancy.
