This study compares transcriptomes of salt-tolerant and susceptible bluebunch wheatgrass genotypes to identify molecular mechanisms underlying salt tolerance.

This paper presents haplotype-resolved genome assemblies for hybrid wheatgrass and its progenitor, revealing subgenome origins, expression bias, and reticulate evolution.

The paper presents high-quality genome assemblies of two diploid Bromus species, revealing centromeric repeats, sub-telomeric repeats, and transposable elements, and identifies population structure and hybrid genomic contributions.

The paper analyzes genomic variations in seven Bluebunch wheatgrass species to reveal genetic diversity, population structure, and evolutionary dynamics, identifying six genetic clusters and reticulate evolution in Eurasian species.
