The paper presents the Plant Bioengineering Atlas, a knowledge graph of genes, DNA constructs, and plant traits, revealing gaps in standardization and reproducibility.

This study identifies key genetic loci associated with stomatal and leaf traits in Populus trichocarpa that contribute to climate adaptation, showing smaller stomata in genotypes from arid regions.

The paper uses long-read sequencing to analyze telomere-to-telomere assemblies in Populus trichocarpa, revealing complex KCS gene variation and its association with helitron transposons.

This study identifies genetic loci modulating ionomic composition in Populus trichocarpa leaves using GWAS and multi-platform ionome profiling.

The paper develops a split ribozyme-based biosensor for in vivo visualization of gene expression in plants, demonstrating its use in transient expression and endogenous gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana.

This paper demonstrates the effective long-distance transport and gene silencing in plants using cationized bovine serum albumin (cBSA) bound to double-stranded RNA nanocomplexes.

The paper identifies PdeMIXTA04 as a gene that promotes epidermal cell differentiation in poplar by forming MBW complexes with PdeMYC and PdeWD40.

The paper maps meiotic recombination hotspots and sex-biased recombination in Populus trichocarpa using dense genetic mapping and haplotype reconstruction.

The paper identifies master regulator genes and pathways involved in sex dimorphism in Salix purpurea using integrative genomics approaches.

AlphaBeta estimates epimutation rates and spectra from DNA methylation data in plants, showing conserved epimutation landscapes and providing a molecular clock for tree age-dating.

The paper identifies large palindromic structures in the sex chromosome of Salix purpurea, showing convergent evolution with mammalian sex chromosomes.

The paper quantifies age-related somatic mutations and epimutations in a wild Populus trichocarpa tree over 330 years, showing lower mutation rates than annuals and distinct epimutation origins.

The paper integrates genomic, metabolomic, and network data to identify target genes involved in lignin biosynthesis/degradation in Populus trichocarpa.
