The paper investigates the evolution and reversal of woodiness in flowering plants, finding that drought supports persistence while reduced frost drives gains and increased frost leads to loss.

This paper develops a method to analyze hybrid and polyploid evolutionary relationships using phylogenetic placement of paralogs from target enrichment data, showing its ability to detect hybridization and polyploidization events.

This paper presents an improved genome assembly of Hirschfeldia incana, revealing insights into chromosomal evolution, phylogenomics, and genes related to high photosynthesis traits.
