This study investigates molecular acclimatisation differences between transplanted and natural seagrass plants, finding tissue-specific transcriptional changes and thermal stress responses.

This study identifies tissue-specific and temporally regulated gene expression networks in Posidonia oceanica during early life stages, highlighting key pathways and hub genes involved in development.

This study compares the evolution of XY sex chromosomes in two closely related Asparagus clades, revealing distinct genetic mechanisms and timing for the origin of dioecy.

The paper investigates genome size expansion in dioecious Asparagus species and finds retrotransposon proliferation, not polyploidization, is the main driver.
