The paper tests if climate-associated genomic variation predicts phenotypic adaptation in European wild apple, finding genomic offsets link to bud-break timing but not other traits.

This study shows that conserved transcriptional plasticity, not local adaptation, is the main molecular response to climate variation in apples.

This study shows domestication altered apple defense responses and host-aphid interaction networks, with cultivated apples showing stronger inducible defenses and higher aphid performance.

The paper uses experimental evolution in yeast to study how recombination rates change under divergent selection, finding increased and decreased rates in selected lineages.

The paper identifies genomic and transcriptomic factors determining gene dispensability in maize by analyzing a pan-gene set and transcriptomic profiles across multiple tissues.

This study compares domestication routes in European and East Asian pears, finding weak bottlenecks, gene flow, and no cost-of-domestication effect.

The paper analyzes the genomic structure and evolution of the S-locus in apple to show how balancing selection maintains conserved S-haplotype architectures despite structural divergence.

This study uses genome and transcriptome data from apple species to show how selection and gene flow shaped the cultivated apple genome, revealing distinct gene pools and adaptive introgression patterns.

This study identifies the genomic footprints of almond domestication, revealing multi-regional origins, gene flow from wild relatives, and population-specific selection on stress and agronomic traits.

The paper integrates genomic, epigenomic, and transcriptomic data to model enhancer-driven gene regulatory networks in maize tissues, identifying tissue-specific transcription factor families and transposable element contributions.
