The RAD51 paralogue HvXRCC2 regulates meiosis and recombination in barley

This study identifies HvXRCC2 as critical for meiosis and recombination in barley, showing reduced crossovers and infertility, contrasting with Arabidopsis.

Genomic resources for a historical collection of cultivated two-row European spring barley genotypes.

The paper provides genomic and phenotypic data for 209 historical two-row spring barley cultivars, enabling downstream analyses such as GWAS and expression associations.

Neanderthals did not likely consume Physcomitrium patens - a model moss species

The paper reanalyzes ancient DNA data from Neanderthal dental calculus to challenge the claim that Neanderthals consumed the moss Physcomitrium patens, showing the result is likely due to methodological misinterpretation.

BaRTv2: A highly resolved barley reference transcriptome for accurate transcript-specific RNA-seq quantification

The paper develops BaRTv2.18, a highly resolved barley reference transcriptome, improving transcript diversity and quantification accuracy over previous versions.

Allicin From Garlic Disrupts the Cytoskeleton in Plants

This study investigates how allicin disrupts cytoplasmic streaming, organelle movement, and auxin distribution in plants by targeting the cytoskeleton.

GWAS reveals the genetic complexity of fructan accumulation patterns in barley grain

This study identifies genetic factors influencing fructan accumulation patterns in barley grain through GWAS and co-expression analysis, revealing new gene candidates and distinct biosynthesis pathways.

Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies in COVID-19 Convalescent Blood using a Coronavirus Antigen Microarray

This paper validates a coronavirus antigen microarray to distinguish SARS-CoV-2 convalescent blood from pre-pandemic controls, showing improved discrimination with spike and nucleoprotein antigens.
