The paper tests if climate-associated genomic variation predicts phenotypic adaptation in European wild apple, finding genomic offsets link to bud-break timing but not other traits.

panREPET identifies shared transposable elements across genomes to trace their dynamics, revealing TE bursts linked to climate events in Brachypodium distachyon.

This study compares domestication routes in European and East Asian pears, finding weak bottlenecks, gene flow, and no cost-of-domestication effect.

The paper analyzes the genomic structure and evolution of the S-locus in apple to show how balancing selection maintains conserved S-haplotype architectures despite structural divergence.
