This study uses metabolomics and chemometric analysis to show how toxic metabolites in Solanum dulcamara change during flower and fruit development, revealing detoxification processes in fruits.

The paper investigates whether aliphatic esters in fruits serve as honest signals of quality for seed dispersers, finding they correlate with sugar content in mammal-dispersed species.

This study identifies organ- and accession-specific metabolic diversity in S. dulcamara using untargeted metabolomics, revealing four SGA chemotypes in leaves and flowers.

The paper identifies Essential Molecular Variables (EMVs) in liverworts, showing they are structured and functionally related to biotic interactions and bioclimatic properties, providing a mechanistic link to plant performance in ecosystems.

This study examines common and species-specific responses of phytohormones and morphological traits to drought and herbivory in three plant species, revealing shared and unique regulatory pathways.

The paper assembles and annotates the genome of Delia radicum, a pest of Brassica crops, using Next Generation Sequencing and bioinformatic methods, revealing gene annotations and life-stage transcriptomes.
