This study re-sequences common vetch genomes to trace two migration routes into Europe and identifies genes involved in latitudinal adaptation.

The paper identifies Neorhizobium vitis as a new crown gall pathogen in grapevines, showing it lacks known virulence genes but still causes tumours.

The paper presents a chromosome-level reference genome for Vicia sativa using long-read and short-read sequencing along with Hi-C data, resulting in a high-quality assembly with 58,415 annotated genes.
