CannSelect is a genotyping platform for Cannabis sativa that maps day-neutrality to the Autoflower1 locus with 88.5% capture efficiency.

The paper introduces a panel of near-isogenic lines from Arabidopsis thaliana to study additive and non-additive genetic effects on ecologically important traits, identifying FLC's role and novel epistatic interactions in flowering time.

This study uses museum specimens and field collections of Arabidopsis thaliana to analyze genetic diversity and temporal changes, finding genetic stasis and mixed signals of adaptation.

The paper sequenced twelve Camelina sativa genomes to study pangenomic variation in an allohexaploid species, finding minimal gene presence-absence variation but subgenome-specific gene content.

This study identifies a single mutation in CBF2 that causes a fitness trade-off by affecting cold acclimation in Arabidopsis thaliana across environments.

The paper studies genotype by environment interactions in rice under drought conditions using the Global MAGIC population, finding that most alleles have conditionally neutral effects and that shoot growth during drought is linked to crown root number.
