The paper investigates how temperature cues affect circadian timing in a natural plant population under fluctuating conditions.

This study identifies a novel wheat immune receptor pair, R3NLR and R3AK, where R3AK executes cell death through its 4-helical bundle domain, revealing a non-canonical NLR/MLKL resistance mechanism.

This study shows vernalisation alters the Arabidopsis circadian clock via PRC2, independent of FLC, and these changes persist after warming.

This study re-analyzes mobile mRNA datasets and finds that many annotated mobile transcripts lack support from RNA-Seq data due to technical and biological factors.

The paper investigates hybridization between two orchid species, finding that floral traits and pollinator interactions influence hybrid formation and fitness.

The paper compares floral traits, genomics, and pollinator interactions in two yellow-flowered monkeyflower species to show convergent adaptive walks during pollinator shifts.

The paper identifies the molecular basis of the afila mutation in pea, showing it results from the deletion of two zinc finger transcription factors and reveals haplotype diversity at the af locus.

This study shows that the plant-specific cohesin subunit SYN4 affects 3D genome organization and gene expression in Arabidopsis, influencing stress responses and bioactive compound biosynthesis.

This paper compares genome assembly technologies for the potato species S. verrucosum, evaluating their completeness, accuracy, cost, and computational requirements.
