The paper examines introgression from cultivated barley into wild barley accessions, finding 16% of accessions show genetic evidence of introgression, with implications for conservation.

The paper identifies dopamine biosynthesis pathway in plants using metabolite-based genome-wide association studies and demonstrates its role in tissue browning and stress tolerance.

This study genotyped 839 Northern Wild Rice individuals using GBS, identified 5,955 SNPs, and analyzed genetic diversity and population structure, finding geographic clustering in wild populations and genetic distinction between wild and cultivated NWR.

The paper presents a high-quality whole genome assembly and annotation of Northern Wild Rice, revealing a whole genome duplication event in the Zizania genus.
