The genetic architecture of quantitative variation in the self-incompatibility response within Phlox drummondii (Polemoniaceae)

This study investigates the genetic architecture of self-compatibility variants in Phlox drummondii, finding polygenic QTLs and a novel S-locus associated with self-incompatibility variation.

Parallel mosaic speciation via mutation-order and ecological divergence

The paper shows that ecological divergence and mutation-order processes together drive reproductive isolation in the Senecio lautus species complex through parallel mosaic speciation.

Solanum pan-genomics and pan-genetics reveal paralogs as contingencies in crop engineering

The paper uses pan-genomics and genome editing in Solanum to show that paralog diversification hinders genotype-phenotype predictability in crop domestication.
