The paper presents the genome sequence of Digitalis purpurea and identifies genetic variations associated with flower color and morphology.

Comparing nine Solanaceae genomes reveals a conserved withanolide gene cluster; three of its P450s, expressed in yeast and N. benthamiana, oxidise 24-methyldesmosterol toward the withanoside V aglycone.

The paper sequences the genome of Centaurea cyanus using long-read sequencing to identify genes involved in blue flower pigmentation.

The paper reports genome sequences of two Aquilegia vulgaris plants with different flower colors and identifies structural variants and candidate genes involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis.

The paper sequences two T. cacao genomes to identify structural variants linked to flavonoid biosynthesis variation.

The paper presents the genome sequence of Tropaeolum majus and identifies genes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis, including those required for flavonol glycoside production.

This study shows that a SARS-CoV-2 replicon DNA can express reporter genes in human cells without requiring T7 RNA polymerase or RNA replication.

The paper identifies genetic and transcriptional factors responsible for flower color change in Victoria cruziana using genome and RNA-seq analysis.
