This paper identifies Raw7 as a second gene controlling barley awn roughness, showing epistatic interaction with Raw1, and proposes a cytokinin signaling pathway mechanism.

Wheat IDD5 and barley SDW3, orthologous zinc-finger transcription factors, bind DELLA proteins and promote gibberellin (GA)-driven elongation; their loss-of-function mutants are GA-insensitive semi-dwarfs resembling Rht-D1b.

The paper provides evidence for plastome loss in the holoparasitic family Mystropetalaceae using DNA and RNA sequencing data.

This study analyzes repetitive DNAs in eleven Hydnoraceae genomes, revealing distinct repeat profiles between genera and suggesting their role in genome evolution.

The paper compares mitochondrial and plastid-based phylogenomic analyses in angiosperms, showing that removing RNA-edit sites from mitochondrial data improves congruence and supports key relationships.

The paper analyzes repeatome divergence in six hortensia species to trace Hydrangea evolution and domestication, identifying species-specific satellite DNAs as cytogenetic markers.

This study identifies Rph7, a barley resistance gene against leaf rust, as a putative NAC transcription factor involved in basal defence activation.
