This study identifies somatic mutations in a 149-year-old Citrus sinensis tree and its clonal lineage, showing non-random spatial and genomic distributions and evidence of somatic selection.

The paper identifies a polymorphic transcription factor, SDMYB, responsible for daily sex alternation in avocado and related species, showing balancing selection over millions of years.

The paper presents a haplotype-resolved genome assembly of the pomegranate cultivar 'Wonderful' using DNA from haploid pollen grains and long-read sequencing technologies.

The paper analyzes NLR gene diversity in citrus and its relatives, identifying genomic clustering patterns and potential mechanisms like unequal recombination.

The paper uses a phased genome of the Fairchild mandarin to analyze how haplotype-specific chromatin states influence allele-specific gene expression.

This study identifies candidate genes associated with citrus response to Huanglongbing by integrating genomic resources and genome-wide association mapping.

The paper analyzes gene body methylation in Arabidopsis thaliana to show it is under selection, with some genes being selected to remain methylated and others to be unmethylated, and finds a link between methylation and gene expression.

The paper investigates epigenetic conflict in maize caused by transposable elements capturing gene fragments, showing that captured genes are more methylated and targeted by siRNAs, while translocated genes show signs of silencing and pseudogenization.

This study analyzes somatic mutations in clonally propagated grapevines, finding that repetitive intergenic regions drive genome diversification and that deleterious mutations accumulate in clones.

The paper investigates purging dynamics in selfed maize lines, finding increased homozygosity and genome size reduction due to purging of deleterious variants and transposable elements.

The paper presents a rainfall-manipulation experiment with 517 Arabidopsis thaliana accessions to study adaptation and fitness under different climate conditions.
