This study identifies diurnal regulation of the SOS pathway and sodium excretion mechanisms in Vigna marina, revealing a QTL region with structural rearrangements and cis-regulatory motifs linked to salt tolerance.

This study uses genotyping-by-sequencing to analyze 723 cucumber accessions, revealing multiple dispersal routes to East Asia and Southeast Asia.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of Cucumis sativus cv. 'Tokiwa' using Oxford nanopore sequencing, resulting in a longer genome with more annotated genes.

This study presents long-read genome assemblies of 12 Vigna species, revealing new WOX transcription factors and transcriptional changes linked to stress tolerance.

The paper identifies MYB26 as a genetic factor for twisting legume pods through fine-mapping of shattering-related traits in azuki and yard-long beans.

This study performs QTL analysis on zombi pea to identify genetic factors underlying domestication traits, finding conserved QTLs for seed and pod size between zombi pea and cowpea.
