The paper uses forward genetics and phenotyping to identify genetic factors affecting plant cell proliferative capacity, finding distinct genetic components for different growth traits.

This paper introduces a secondary structure distance metric to analyze protein evolution, showing structural divergence can differ from sequence-based phylogeny, especially in proteins with ordered and disordered regions.

This study investigates the functional divergence of GIGANTEA paralogs in Petunia x hybrida, showing that PhGI2 specifically controls flowering time while PhGI1 regulates vegetative growth.

gcProfileMakeR automatically classifies constitutive and non-constitutive metabolites from GC-MS data, improving speed and accuracy in non-targeted metabolomics.

This study characterizes the circadian clock structure in petal and leaf tissues of Petunia hybrida, revealing tissue-specific gene expression patterns and evolutionary differences.
