This study identifies donor species of grass-to-grass lateral gene transfer using nuclear-encoded plastid DNA, finding two lateral acquisitions from specific lineages.

The paper uses phylogenomic analyses to identify genomic regions linked to the breakdown of sunflower downy mildew resistance genes in Plasmopara halstedii.

This study identifies genomic rearrangements in Meloidogyne graminicola, revealing evidence of meiotic recombination and a dual reproductive mode contributing to its adaptability.

This study constructs a nuclear phylogeny of grasses using genome-scale data, showing agreement with plastome phylogeny and evidence for repeated reticulation events.

The paper assesses genetic diversity in an endangered Malagasy tree species to understand how forest fragmentation and riparian connectivity influence evolutionary processes in the Loky-Manambato region.
