The paper constructs a population-scale isoform atlas for lettuce and develops ISONET-GWAS to analyze isoform-based trait associations and regulatory mechanisms.

This study shows heat stress increases mutation rates in plants, with DNA Polymerase λ mediating mutagenesis, particularly in heterochromatic regions and through 1-bp insertions.

Combining 99-gene smFISH across 48,225 cells with scRNA-seq of 26,009 cells maps 21 spatial expression domains and imputes 74,464 genes in early tetraploid wheat spikes.

This study uses single-cell RNA-seq to identify stem cell regulators in maize and Arabidopsis, revealing genes linked to yield traits and shoot development.

The paper identifies a complex formed by non-catalytic and catalytic TPSs and a TPP, showing their interaction regulates maize development.

This study identifies a domestication-related mutation in PvMYB26 in common bean, linking it to reduced pod shattering and suggesting West-Central Mexico as the domestication origin.

The paper identifies bi-directionally expressed enhancers in maize with domestication signatures using integrated epigenomic and transcriptomic data from multiple tissues and inbred lines.

The paper describes the development of a cloud-based platform for managing, analyzing, and distributing MaizeCODE data, enhancing reproducibility and accessibility.
