This paper presents three new Capsicum genomes, expands the pangenome framework, and identifies genetic diversity and gene loci relevant to capsaicinoid biosynthesis.

The paper develops a complete chromosome substitution mapping panel in Arabidopsis thaliana to enable high power mapping of genome-wide epistasis.

This study uses pollen sequencing to analyze recombination patterns in tomato hybrids, identifying coldspots and their association with transposable elements and gene complexes, and proposes strategies to overcome recombination barriers.

The paper presents the first annotated genome of okra, revealing its allopolyploid nature, sub-genome structure, and gene distribution patterns, along with insights into phenol biosynthesis pathways.

This study analyzes genetic diversity and population structure of Luffa acutangula accessions using SNP markers, identifying six subpopulations and highlighting genetic diversity for breeding programs.

This paper demonstrates methods to enhance reverse breeding by reducing meiotic crossovers using VIGS, enabling faster generation of transgene-free parental lines.
