This paper introduces a CsCl ultracentrifugation-based DNA isolation method for plant species, improving nanopore sequencing quality and yield compared to traditional CTAB methods.

This study examines how conventional and organic tomato plants respond to aphid infestation, finding no significant yield loss and a transcriptional shift towards catabolism in leaves.

The paper uses whole-genome sequencing to identify novel genomic variations in mutant European pear individuals generated through mutation breeding.

The paper develops a pangenome graph for Pyrus species to explore functional variation and identifies transcription factor-associated selective sweeps in arid-adapted species.
