This study identifies a shared paleopolyploid event and its role in the C3-to-C4 photosynthetic transition in Heliantheae alliance species through genome analysis and phylogenetic association mapping.

The paper develops a composite genome approach to analyze TF occupancy diversity in barley using short-read data, showing improved accuracy over SNP-replacement strategies for MOA-seq analyses.

This study identifies HvbZIP33 and HvbZIP76 as key regulators of transpiration in drought-stressed barley, showing their role in maintaining water use efficiency.

This study compares single-cell transcriptomes of two independently evolved C4 dicot species to identify conserved gene expression patterns in bundle sheath cells.

The paper presents de novo genome assemblies and annotations for 19 Brassiceae species to study the evolution of C3-C4 intermediate photosynthesis.
