Plant genomes remain highly fragmented and are often characterized by hundreds to
thousands of assembly gaps. Here, we report chromosome-level reference and phased …

We consider the rapidly advancing discipline of plant evolutionary genomics, with a focus on
the evolution of polyploid genomes. In many lineages, polyploidy is followed by 'biased …

The in vitro tissue cultures are, beyond all difficulties, an essential tool in basic research as
well as in commercial applications. Numerous works devoted to plant tissue cultures proved …

The breeding of forest trees is only a few decades old, and is a much more complicated,
longer, and expensive endeavor than the breeding of agricultural crops. One breeding cycle …

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted by plants as a consequence of their
interaction with biotic and abiotic factors, and have a very important role in plant evolution …

We present chromosome-level genome assemblies from representative species of three
independently evolved seagrass lineages: Posidonia oceanica, Cymodocea nodosa …

Most diploid organisms have polyploid ancestors. The evolutionary process of
polyploidization is poorly understood but has frequently been conjectured to involve some …

The duplication of an entire genome is no small affair. Whole genome duplication (WGD) is
a dramatic mutation with long-lasting effects, yet it occurs repeatedly in all eukaryotic …

Hybridization brings together chromosome sets from two or more distinct progenitor species.
Genome duplication associated with hybridization, or allopolyploidy, allows these …

The relationship of transposable elements (TEs) with their host genomes has usually been
seen as an arms race between TEs and their host genomes. Consequently, TEs are …
