The paper investigates excess heterozygosity in the self-pollinating orchid Corallorhiza bentleyi, finding overdominance likely explains the phenomenon despite selfing and small population size.

This study constructs a comprehensive phylogenomic framework for Vanilla, revealing evolutionary relationships, historical biogeography, and hybridization patterns.

This study profiles the nuclear genomes of two Epidendrum species using flow cytometry and k-mer analysis, finding a 2.3-fold genome size difference and high retrotransposon content.
