This study uses microsatellite markers to analyze genetic diversity in fig populations across the Mediterranean, revealing regionally structured domestication rather than a single origin.

The paper constructs a citrus super-pangenome from four ancestral species, revealing evolutionary patterns and genetic diversity through gene annotation, resequencing, and PAV analysis.

The paper compares sex chromosomes in two palm species, finding convergent evolution with shared genes but independent origins.

This study sequences the giant Y chromosome of Silene latifolia and reveals its structure, function, and evolutionary history.

The paper identifies a hemizygous genomic region containing a gibberellin pathway gene that controls self-incompatibility in Oleaceae plants, linking GA catabolism to SI responses.

The paper develops SSR markers for Borassus aethiopum and analyzes genetic diversity and population structure in Benin, finding low diversity and limited gene flow.
