Lineage-specific evolution of regulatory landscapes in a polyploid plant and its diploid progenitors

This study investigates the lineage-specific evolution of regulatory elements in allopolyploid peanut and its diploid progenitors, revealing patterns of chromatin accessibility and histone modification conservation and divergence.

The genetic architecture of cell-type-specific cis-regulation in maize

The paper identifies cell-type-specific cis-regulatory variants in maize using single-cell genomics and population genetics, revealing their role in local adaptation and flowering.

A spatially resolved multiomic single-cell atlas of soybean development

The paper constructs a spatially resolved multiomic single-cell atlas of soybean development, identifying cell types, chromatin regions, and gene regulatory networks involved in growth and nitrogen fixation.
