The paper investigates how plant tissue culture parameters affect polyploidy in three Solanaceae species, finding that explant type and species influence polyploidy rates, but zeatin concentration has species-specific effects.

The paper uses pan-genomics and genome editing in Solanum to show that paralog diversification hinders genotype-phenotype predictability in crop domestication.

The paper investigates convergent evolution of plant prickles, finding that mutations in a cytokinin gene repeatedly cause prickle loss across species.
