This study investigates how chia leaves respond to heat stress through transcriptomic and lipidomic changes, revealing rapid reprogramming and lipid remodelling as key thermotolerance mechanisms.

The paper identifies tandem duplications of SAD gene clusters as the cause of high ω-3 content in S. hispanica seeds, rather than whole-genome duplications.

The paper introduces compare_genomes, a workflow for comparative genomics that identifies orthologous families and tests evolutionary mechanisms across species.
