The paper investigates the evolution and reversal of woodiness in flowering plants, finding that drought supports persistence while reduced frost drives gains and increased frost leads to loss.

This study uses CRISPR to reposition centromeres in Arabidopsis, showing how neo-chromosomes with altered centromere positions lead to meiotic segregation distortion and aneuploidy.

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

The paper identifies a nuclear polarity pathway in Arabidopsis meiosis by showing how telomeres interact with SUN1/2 domains on the nuclear envelope to form a bouquet structure.

This study reclassifies B. calcarea from Boechera to Parryodes, revealing its placement in an ancestral clade of Arabideae through cytogenetic, phylogenetic, and repeatome analyses.

The paper sequences and analyzes the genome of Boechera falcata, revealing its phylogenetic relationship to North American relatives and structural chromosome features.

Ultra-long-read sequencing resolves Arabidopsis centromeres, revealing their genetic and epigenetic structure and dynamics.

The paper shows that rRNA gene copy number variation in Arabidopsis thaliana is heritable but unstably inherited, explaining why GWAS failed to identify the NORs as the source.
