The paper presents chromosome-scale genome assemblies of four duckweed species, revealing genomic plasticity and adaptations to aquatic environments through gene loss and pathway retention.

The paper develops and validates an exome-wide SNP genotyping array for black and red spruces, showing its utility for hybridization studies and transferability to white and Norway spruces.

The paper presents a pangenome and pantranscriptome of hexaploid oat, describing gene expression diversity and structural genome variation across 33 accessions and six tissues.

The paper assesses transcriptome-wide SNP diversity and adaptive variation in conifers, finding limited convergence at the molecular level but increased convergence at gene family and biological process levels.

This study develops high-density linkage maps for Sitka spruce using SNP markers, enhancing genomic resources for conifers and supporting genome assembly and genetic management.

This study compares genetic diversity between wild Japanese and cultured Canadian Yesso scallops using ddRAD-sequencing, finding reduced polymorphism and genetic differentiation in cultured populations.
