Admixture with cultivated sunflower likely facilitated establishment and spread of wild sunflower (H. annuus) in Argentina

The paper investigates the invasion history of wild sunflower in Argentina, finding that admixture with cultivated sunflower and genomic selection contributed to its establishment and spread.

The role of intraspecific crop-weed hybridization in the evolution of weediness and invasiveness: cultivated and weedy radish (Raphanus sativus L.) as a case study

This study evaluates first-generation crop-weed hybrids of Raphanus sativus and their parents under two ecological conditions, finding hybrids have higher fitness than parents in both environments.

Persistence of cultivar alleles in wild carrot (Daucus carota L.) populations in the United States

The paper examines introgression of cultivar alleles into wild carrot populations in the U.S., finding evidence of persistence in some areas but not others.

Rapid evolution of seed dormancy during sunflower de-domestication

This study examines the rapid evolution of seed dormancy in a sunflower weedy population through genetic and resurrection analyses over a decade.

Ecological fitness cost associated with the AHAS Trp574Leu mutation in feral Raphanus sativus

This study quantifies the ecological fitness costs of the AHAS Trp574Leu mutation in feral radish, showing reduced biomass and seed production under competitive conditions.

Maternal control of early life history traits affects overwinter survival and seedling phenotypes in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)

This study shows maternal effects influence seedling traits and overwinter survival in sunflower hybrids, with cotyledon size being a key factor.
