Spatial expression evolution of duplicated genes post-whole genome duplication in cultivated tomato

This study examines how duplicated genes evolve spatial expression patterns after a genome triplication event in tomato, finding that ancestral expression states are often retained, with some experiencing expression gain or loss linked to fruit quality.

CLAVATA signalling shapes barley inflorescence architecture by controlling activity and determinacy of shoot apical and rachilla meristems

This study identifies HvFCP1 and HvCLV1 as key regulators of barley inflorescence architecture by coordinating meristem activity and determinacy.

Global Genotype by Environment Prediction Competition Reveals That Diverse Modeling Strategies Can Deliver Satisfactory Maize Yield Estimates

The paper reports on a competition to predict maize yield using genetic and environmental data, showing that diverse modeling approaches can achieve good results.
