Cyanogenic clovers invest more in rhizobia but do not affect rhizobium evolution

The paper investigates how cyanogenic defense traits in clover affect investment in rhizobia and rhizobium evolution, finding increased nodule size but no change in rhizobium quality.

Digging into the general dynamic model: Island ontogeny predicts shifting micro-evolutionary processes in a Mascarene flowering plant radiation

This study uses population-level sampling and 2bRAD sequencing to test the general dynamic model (GDM) in a Mascarene flowering plant radiation, finding that evolutionary processes shift with island age.

Receptor-ligand interactions in plant inmate immunity revealed by AlphaFold protein structure prediction

The paper uses AlphaFold to predict protein structures and identify direct receptor-ligand interactions in plant innate immunity involving R genes and avirulence genes.

Haplotype-resolved, chromosome-level assembly of white clover (Trifolium repens L., Fabaceae)

The paper presents two high-quality genome assemblies for white clover, improving contiguity and accuracy for genetic and agricultural studies.
