Orthologous synteny provides robust structural evidence for the ancestral angiosperm ε-WGD

The paper provides structural and phylogenetic evidence supporting the occurrence of the ancestral angiosperm ε-WGD, resolving a long-standing debate.

Noncanonical loops regulated by EMF1 and cohesin-associated factors shape the distinct 3D genome architecture in plants

The paper identifies noncanonical loops in Arabidopsis regulated by EMF1 and PDS5s, showing distinct chromatin organization compared to mammals.

Evidence for evolution of a new sex chromosome within the Marchantiales haploid-dominant plant lineage

The paper investigates dioicy-monoicy transitions in liverworts, confirming monoicy evolved from a dioicous ancestor and describing potential re-evolution of dioicy with new sex chromosome formation.

ccnWheat: A Database for Comparing Co-expression Networks Analysis of Allohexaploid Wheat and Its Progenitors

The paper introduces ccnWheat, a platform for comparing co-expression networks in wheat species, and identifies a novel motif in the WAPO-A1 gene related to spikelet development in hexaploid wheat.

Mining the potential of VRS1-5 gene to raise barley grain yield

The paper investigates the role of VRS1-5 genes in barley grain yield by analyzing genetic variation and spike morphology traits across multiple environments.
