Long‐read whole‐genome sequencing revealed extensive chromosomal rearrangements and aneuploidy in a widely used Chlamydomonas reinhardtii stt7‐1 mutant. The STT7 gene (shown in red) was found to be split between two rearranged chromosomes, providing a molecular explanation for the long‐standing failure of this mutant in genetic crosses.

Selection shapes the evolution of genome size in a globally invasive plant
Abundance, genomic distribution and structural characteristics of transposable elements (TEs) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes across the common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) reference genome. Summary Biological invasions provide powerful natural experiments for understanding how genome architecture responds to novel climatic environments ...

Evolution‐Inspired Engineering of Diterpene Biosynthesis via Chloroplast Genome Modification
ABSTRACT Terpenes constitute the largest and most structurally diverse class of plant secondary metabolites, with critical roles in plant‐environment interactions and broad industrial applications. Although nuclear genome engineering of terpene pathways has been extensively explored, chloroplast genome engineering remains largely undeveloped, with most

Genomic insights into trichome and inflorescence evolution of the palaeopolyploid tree genus Greyia
SUMMARY The southern African endemic tree Greyia Hook. & Harv. (Francoaceae, Geraniales) comprises three species distinguished by striking variation in trichome morphology and inflorescence architecture, yet the genomic and regulatory basis of these traits has remained largely unexplored.

SUMMARY Most extant plant lineages show evidence of past polyploidisation events in their genomes. Allopolyploids arise from hybridisation, resulting in polyploid genomes comprising subgenomes from different ancestors. Adaptation to their environment, pre‐ and post‐hybridisation and selection for specific traits has led to several allopolyploids ...

SUMMARY Specialised metabolism is an important factor in how plants cope with biotic and, to a lesser extent, abiotic stress. Current approaches to identify and study the genes involved in such metabolic pathways mainly leverage genomic and transcriptomic datasets of plants, in order to improve our understanding of plant resilience.
