The paper identifies a plasma membrane complex involving FERONIA, RBOHD, CRK10, and PIP2;6 that interacts with phyB to regulate ROS production in Arabidopsis under stress.

This study completes the Triangle of U by sequencing the genome of Brassica carinata, revealing genomic features and gene family expansions linked to its agronomic traits.

The paper confirms a two-step hybridization model for the formation of hexaploidy in Brassiceae and shows subgenomes have distinct loss rates but functionally compatible genes.

The paper uses genomic data and written records to validate domestication events in Brassica rapa, finding support for specific genetic groups and domestication timelines.
