A chromosome-level genome assembly for the amphibious plant Rorippa aquatica reveals its allotetraploid origin and mechanisms of heterophylly upon submergence [PDF]
Communications BiologyThe ability to respond to varying environments is crucial for sessile organisms such as plants. The amphibious plant Rorippa aquatica exhibits a striking type of phenotypic plasticity known as heterophylly, a phenomenon in which leaf form is altered in ...

Convergent Patterns of Karyotype Evolution Underlying Karyotype Uniformity in Conifers. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)The remarkable karyotype uniformity observed in gymnosperms has long posed an evolutionary puzzle. This study proposes a model of karyotype evolution in gymnosperms, highlighting the rarity of both polyploidy and dysploidy as key factors underlying this uniformity.

Intraspecific diploidization of a halophyte root fungus drives heterosis [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsHow organisms respond to environmental stress is a key topic in evolutionary biology. This study focused on the genomic evolution of Laburnicola rhizohalophila, a dark-septate endophytic fungus from roots of a halophyte.

Genome Architecture and Speciation in Plants and Animals. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT There have been numerous treatments of specific topics in speciation, but surprisingly few papers have compared patterns and processes of speciation across different organismal groups. In this review, we partially address this gap by asking how variation in genome architecture impacts speciation across the plant and animal kingdoms.

A molecular cytogenetic perspective on chromosome biology and crop improvement. [PDF]
Plant GenomeAbstract The age of molecular cytogenetic analysis of crop plants dawned in the late 1960s and early 1970s with new advances in the identification of somatic chromosomes by C‐banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization concurrent with advances in DNA cloning, sequencing, and mapping. In this perspective article dedicated to Ronald Phillips, I review

Novel microsatellite loci for Sebaea aurea (Gentianaceae) and cross-amplification in related species. [PDF]
, 2013 Premise of the study: Microsatellite loci were developed in Sebaea aurea (Gentianaceae) to investigate the functional role of diplostigmaty (i.e., the presence of additional stigmas along the style).
