The paper investigates genome size variation in two Hordeum species, finding that drought drives genome expansion through transposable element accumulation, with TE silencing as the key regulatory mechanism.

The paper identifies adaptive haplotype blocks in wild barley linked to drought and heat response genes, enriched for transposable elements, and predicts maladaptive risk due to climate change.

This study analyzes the genomic and phenotypic impacts of wild introgressions in sunflower, finding that while some traits improve, most introgressions negatively affect yield and quality.

The paper investigates the role of H3K27me3 in maintaining chromatin accessibility of developmental genes in Arabidopsis callus cells, showing its necessity for regeneration and fate acquisition.

The paper uses image analysis and genome-wide association studies to identify genetic loci affecting seed-coat characteristics in sunflower.
