The paper generates near telomere-to-telomere genomes for Linum species to study chromosome evolution, finding lineage-specific DNA transposon expansion linked to pericentromeric restructuring.

The paper presents a pangenome and pantranscriptome of hexaploid oat, describing gene expression diversity and structural genome variation across 33 accessions and six tissues.

The paper identifies the origin of the predominant North American Pst lineage, PstS18, as a somatic hybridization event between PstS1 and an unknown lineage.

The paper presents a chromosome-scale rye genome assembly to study genomic evolution and agronomic traits in Triticeae crops.
