A chromosome-scale reference genome and single-nucleus root atlas reveal the cellular and molecular basis of coastal adaptation in sand bean (Strophostyles helvola)

The paper generates a chromosome-scale genome and single-nucleus transcriptomic atlas of sand bean roots to study coastal adaptation, finding that salt tolerance in Beach ecotypes relies on pre-existing, spatially organized stress-response programs.

Genomic analyses provide new insights into the evolutionary history and reproduction of the Paleogene relictual Kingdonia (Circaeasteraceae, Ranunculales)

This study uses population genomic analyses to investigate the reproductive mode of Kingdonia uniflora, finding evidence of both asexual reproduction and rare sexual reproduction events.

The fruitENCODE project sheds light on the genetic and epigenetic basis of convergent evolution of climacteric fruit ripening

The fruitENCODE project identifies three evolutionary origins of regulatory circuits governing climacteric fruit ripening through comparative genomics and epigenetics.
