This study identifies a single genetic innovation, p-GPATs, as critical for the evolution of the plant cuticle and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal symbiosis during terrestrialization.

This study identifies 259 conserved gene clusters across 11 angiosperm species involved in hypoxia response through transcriptomic meta-analysis.

The paper identifies pseudogenes in seagrass genomes to confirm ongoing loss of ethylene biosynthesis genes, suggesting adaptation to an aquatic lifestyle.

The paper compares selection pressures on orthologous genes between aquatic and terrestrial plants to understand adaptations to their respective environments.

This study identifies TBL38 as an atypical homogalacturonan acetylesterase localized in a specific cell wall microdomain of Arabidopsis seed mucilage secretory cells, showing increased acetylation in mutants.

This study performs a GWAS on Arabidopsis seed mucilage layers, identifying genetic variants and candidate genes associated with mucilage traits across natural populations.

P-GRe is a software tool for automated pseudogene prediction in genomes, showing improved virtual protein alignment in Arabidopsis thaliana.

This study analyzes the pangenome of Marchantia polymorpha to identify genetic features involved in plant adaptation to terrestrial environments, finding shared and lineage-specific genes with flowering plants.

The paper introduces a framework for analyzing heterogeneous omics data using mixOmics, demonstrating its application to Arabidopsis thaliana under sub-optimal temperature conditions.

ExpressWeb is a web tool that clusters and visualizes expression data, enabling gene network extraction and co-expression analysis through heatmaps, graphs, and networks.
