This study improves genome assemblies of Noccaea caerulescens accessions and identifies gene copy number variations linked to metal hyperaccumulation and adaptation.

Brassica rapa pollen tube length after growing through recipient pistil tissue is donor-by-recipient specific, predicts siring success under competition, and matters more in longer-styled recipients.

The paper genotypes the self-incompatibility locus in Brassica insularis using NGS methods, identifying S-alleles and showing low compatibility in a small population.

The paper provides the first empirical test of cryptic female choice in an angiosperm, showing that pistil traits influence paternal fertilization success based on pollen donor traits.
