The paper introduces BSA-k-mer, a k-mer-based bulked segregant analysis method to identify genetic loci associated with seed traits in potato, finding novel loci for seed size and matching loci for seed spot.

The paper compares mutation rates in different layers of plant meristems and finds the L1 layer accumulates mutations 1.9 times faster than the L2.

This study investigates the role of ASY1 in meiotic crossover (CO) assurance and interference in Arabidopsis, showing that reduced ASY1 activity leads to altered CO distribution and genomic instability.

The paper investigates the mechanism of dihaploid formation in potato by analyzing genome instability and the presence of haploid inducer DNA in dihaploids and hybrids.

The paper investigates the evolution of dioecy in persimmon by analyzing genome duplication events and gene function, revealing how gene duplication and adaptation contributed to the development of a sex determination system.

This study identifies two Y chromosome-encoded genes, SyGI and FrBy, that independently determine sex in kiwifruit, revealing a two-factor sex determination system and providing insights for breeding.
