Extensive genetic variation of leaf specialized metabolites in sessile oak (Quercus petraea) populations.

The paper examines genetic variation in specialized metabolites of sessile oaks and finds extensive within-population variation but little between-population differentiation, with 42% of metabolites showing significant genetic associations.

Prediction and experimental evidence of differentgrowth phases of the Podospora anserina hyphalnetwork

The paper predicts and experimentally validates different growth phases in the hyphal network of Podospora anserina using a lattice-free model and density observable.

Stepwise recombination suppression around the mating-type locus in the fungus Schizothecium tetrasporum (Ascomycota, Sordariales)

This paper shows that recombination is suppressed around the mating-type locus in Schizothecium tetrasporum, a fungus in the Sordariales order, leading to self-fertile dikaryotic spores through stepwise recombination suppression.

Locally adapted oak populations along an elevation gradient display different molecular strategies to regulate bud phenology.

Water stress-associated isolation barriers between two sympatric oak species

The paper investigates gene expression differences in roots of two sympatric oak species under water stress conditions and identifies genes involved in adaptive strategies and reproductive barriers.

Genome-wide evolutionary response of European oakssince the Little Ice Age

This study tracks genomic changes in European oaks since the Little Ice Age, finding shifts in selection linked to climate extremes and stress responses.

Adaptive introgression as a driver of local adaptation to climate in European white oaks

This study investigates adaptive introgression from Q. robur into Q. petraea populations across climate gradients, finding evidence of gene flow and its role in local adaptation.

Massive postglacial gene flow between European white oaks uncovered genes underlying species barriers

The paper identifies genomic regions and genes underlying reproductive barriers in European white oaks, revealing postglacial gene flow and ecological adaptations.
