The paper links structural variation to regulatory genome function in barley by analyzing epigenomic data across multiple genotypes and developmental contexts.

This study identifies HvXRCC2 as critical for meiosis and recombination in barley, showing reduced crossovers and infertility, contrasting with Arabidopsis.

This study uses environmental DNA from Lake Tjornin to challenge the narrative of Norse-induced environmental collapse in Reykjavik, showing dynamic human-environment interactions shaped by both cultural practices and external stressors.

The paper analyzes RNA-seq data from barley anthers and meiocytes to show that gene expression changes are most significant at meiosis entry, with lncRNAs being downregulated and only 24% of meiotic gene orthologues showing differential expression.

The paper identifies a haplotype variant in the HKT1;5 gene associated with increased grain sodium content in barley, showing its functional impact and potential role in selection.
