This paper presents a near telomere-to-telomere, haplotype-resolved genome assembly of Vellozia tubiflora, a desiccation-tolerant plant, providing genomic resources for evolutionary and comparative studies.

The paper proposes a roadmap for fair reuse of public microbiome data by introducing a Data Reuse Information tag (DRI) to facilitate communication between data creators and consumers.

The paper uses immunolocalization of KNL1 to accurately determine the chromosome number of six Vellozia species, finding 2n = 18 and x = 9, correcting previous discrepancies.

The paper investigates how plant-associated microbiomes in nutrient-poor Brazilian campos rupestres substrates contribute to nutrient cycling, revealing novel microbial populations and mechanisms for phosphorus and nitrogen turnover.
