The paper identifies Brassica homologs of Arabidopsis type-A response regulators, shows evolutionary selective pressure on RRAs, and demonstrates cytokinin dependency in cold-induced RRA upregulation.

The paper generates high-contiguity long-read assemblies of Brassica nigra, enabling localization of active centromeres and insights into the ancestral Brassica genome.

This study analyzes genome evolution in Asian rapeseed, showing divergence from European rapeseed, introgression events, and their impacts on genetic diversity and deleterious variations.
