Genome sequencing of 'Fuji' apple clonal varieties reveals evolutionary history and genetic mechanism of the spur-type morphology

The paper sequenced clonal Fuji apple varieties to uncover somatic variants linked to spur-type morphology and early maturation traits.

Tetrapod terrestrialisation: a weight-bearing potential already present in the humerus of the stem-tetrapod fish Eusthenopteron foordi

This study shows Eusthenopteron's humerus could withstand terrestrial weight through its microanatomy, suggesting early tetrapods had biomechanical adaptations for land exploration.

Sequential colonization events with restricted gene flow in a widespread European carnation species

This study investigates the colonization history of Dianthus carthusianorum using genome-wide SNPs and ABC-RF to reveal sequential East-West colonization events with restricted gene flow.

Phenotypic plasticity, population structure and adaptation in a young weed species with a worldwide distribution

This study investigates the roles of phenotypic plasticity and genetic adaptation in the rapid global spread of the weed Capsella bursa-pastoris through common garden experiments.

Study of the genetic and phenotypic variation among wild and cultivated clary sages provides interesting avenues for breeding programs of a perfume, medicinal and aromatic plant

This study examines genetic and phenotypic variation in wild and cultivated clary sage to inform breeding programs for improved traits.

Congruent population genetic structures and divergence histories in anther-smut fungi and their host plants Silene italica and the S. nutans species complex

The paper examines the population genetic structure of anther-smut fungi and their host plants, finding congruent divergence histories and no recent gene flow between fungal lineages parasitizing different host plant species.
