Introgression of genes from wild tomato species can enhance the robustness of modern tomatoes. Here van Rengs et al. describe the genomes of wild tomato species and show how reproductive gender and st...

Genomic and epigenetic responses immediately after plant polyploidization are crucial for successful speciation. Here, the authors assemble the genomes of two progenitors of tetraploid Arabidopsis kam...

Flowering plants can undergo whole-genome duplications, but how they return to diploid-like states is poorly understood. Here authors show diploidization in the Biscutella genus is shaped by clade div...

Century-old institution boasts many unique specimens and is considered a “poster child for modern curation”

From the dating of 132 ancient whole-genome duplication events across 470 angiosperms, paleopolyploidization events cluster around pivotal periods of environmental upheaval and extinction, notably the...

Eukaryotic genomes harbor many forms of variation, including nucleotide diversity and structural polymorphisms, which experience natural selection and contribute to genome evolution and biodiversi...

Live-cell imaging reveals characteristic cytological stages of female meiosis in Arabidopsis and allows an assessment of their durations.

Aim To investigate the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms driving biodiversity in the Indo-Malayan hotspots, with a particular focus on the roles of ancient hybridisation and historical climate ...

Nature Plants - This study discovered that locally confined DNA differences boost crossover rates in both Arabidopsis and maize, revealing a conserved mechanism that can accelerate plant breeding...
