This study reconstructs the genome and karyotype evolution of Sesamum and related species, revealing hybridization events and genetic changes linked to metabolic specialization.

This study presents chromosome-scale genome assemblies of two dodder species, revealing genomic features linked to parasitism and polyploid evolution.

This study identifies horizontal gene transfer of a functional cytochrome P450 gene from host plants to parasitic dodders, accompanied by intron gains involving transposon colonization.

The paper studies the evolution of an X-A balance sex determination system in hops by analyzing genome sequences of two hop species and identifies a candidate gene involved in the system.

The paper identifies centromeric repeat diversity in hop that contributes to non-Mendelian segregation patterns and genome instability during meiosis.
