The paper identifies non-random associations among genes in the Arabidopsis thaliana dispensable genome, revealing modular structure and functional coupling.

This study identifies dispensable genes in Arabidopsis using naturally occurring loss-of-function mutations and integrates them with transcriptomic data to improve gene function analysis.

This study analyzes genomic diversity in Colombian cassava landraces to identify gene editing targets for improving climate resilience and disease resistance.

The paper investigates cell layer-specific cell wall modifications in pistachio hulls and links them to exo-mesocarp split during fruit development.

The paper uses genomic data to analyze the Juglans genus, finding black walnut as an ancient lineage with implications for conservation and climate adaptation.

The paper develops a framework to distinguish mutation bias from selection in plants by analyzing mutation spectra and genome architecture, revealing reduced mutation rates in gene bodies and broadly expressed genes.

The paper examines how intron architecture in Arabidopsis thaliana relates to chromatin features, finding that first intron position and intron number correlate with specific histone marks and gene expression patterns.

This study identifies key genetic loci associated with stomatal and leaf traits in Populus trichocarpa that contribute to climate adaptation, showing smaller stomata in genotypes from arid regions.

The paper investigates somatic mutation variation in walnut clones propagated through different methods, finding high mutation rates and genomic instability in somatic embryos.

The paper identifies trans-regulatory loci influencing gene expression plasticity in Arabidopsis under salicylic acid treatment, showing most loci act in trans and are under-detected in GWAS.

This study analyzes the diversification of PDS5 proteins across eukaryotes, revealing distinct evolutionary trajectories and specialized cohesin regulatory mechanisms in different lineages.

This study generates a chromosome-scale pistachio genome and analyzes kernel development stages to understand molecular pathways affecting nutritional quality.

The paper investigates convergent evolution of histone reader domains fused to MSH6 across eukaryotes, showing evidence of natural selection and links to genome size and mutation rate heterogeneity.

The paper uses Duplex Sequencing to measure somatic mutation rates in Arabidopsis under different temperatures, finding very low mutation frequencies in wild-type plants.

The paper identifies a new type of gene body methylation in plants that is dynamically regulated and linked to increased gene expression plasticity.

The paper examines how epigenomic divergence affects sequence polymorphism and the evolutionary fate of duplicate genes in Arabidopsis thaliana, finding that transcriptionally repressed genes accumulate more polymorphism and are more likely to pseudogenize.

The paper shows H3K4me1 recruits DNA repair proteins to reduce mutations in functionally constrained regions of plant genomes.
