The paper identifies the sex chromosome in white Guinea yam and describes a miRNA-mediated sex determination system involving a 1.2-Mb inversion and a W-specific microRNA gene.

This study identifies calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) as regulators of sustained ROS production via NbRBOHB during plant immune responses.

The paper identifies a root-specific NLR gene cluster in tomato that confers resistance to nematodes and evolved from an ancient NRC network.

The paper identifies two candidate genes involved in sex determination in the dioecious wild yam Dioscorea tokoro using whole-genome sequencing and genetic analysis.

The paper identifies MMF1, an immune receptor in Arabidopsis, that mediates microbiome feedbacks by influencing root bacterial communities and defense responses.

The paper analyzes NLR evolution in lettuce and related species, finding that sensor NLRs evolve faster than helper NLRs and that sensor diversification is linked to helper dependency.

The paper investigates the functional conservation of the NRC0 gene cluster across asterid plants and shows its role in immune responses.
