Managing the genetic diversity of Dioscorea yams for adaptation to climate change

This study analyzes genetic diversity in Dioscorea yams to identify strategies for climate-resilient breeding and highlights accessions at risk of maladaptation under future climate scenarios.

Evolution of crop phenotypic spaces through domestication

This study examines how domestication shapes multivariate phenotypic spaces across species, finding convergence, reduced phenotypic space, and a new index for cross-species comparison.

Contrasting genomic routes to domestication in Occidental and Oriental pears

This study compares domestication routes in European and East Asian pears, finding weak bottlenecks, gene flow, and no cost-of-domestication effect.

Comprehensive annotation of olfactory and gustatory receptor genes and transposable elements revealed their evolutionary dynamics in aphids

The paper analyzes olfactory and gustatory receptor genes and transposable elements in aphid genomes to understand their evolutionary dynamics and role in host adaptation.

Genomic footprints of domestication in almond (Prunus dulcis)

This study identifies the genomic footprints of almond domestication, revealing multi-regional origins, gene flow from wild relatives, and population-specific selection on stress and agronomic traits.
