From long-term progeny trials to genomic selection: empirical prediction and simulation-guided redesign of Scots pine breeding in Germany

This paper evaluates genomic selection strategies for Scots pine breeding using long-term progeny trials and simulations, finding that genomic selection with phenotypic thinning provides the highest annual gains for certain traits.

Biotic-response networks are an important organizer of the transcriptome in wild Arabidopsis thaliana populations

The paper examines transcriptome organization in wild Arabidopsis thaliana populations and finds that biotic-response networks are well conserved, while other networks are reorganized in natural settings.

Natural selection acting on the genetics of host response to commensal bacteria

This study identifies candidate genes and signatures of natural selection in Arabidopsis thaliana's response to commensal bacteria, revealing genetic architecture and adaptation mechanisms.
