Worldwide, the effects of metal and metalloid toxicity are increasing, mainly due to
anthropogenic causes. Soil contamination ranks among the most important factors, since it …

Most land plants are now known to be ancient polyploids that have rediploidized.
Diploidization involves many changes in genome organization that ultimately restore …

Conifers dominate the world's forest ecosystems and are the most widely planted tree
species. Their giant and complex genomes present great challenges for assembling a …

Networks are powerful tools to uncover functional roles of genes in phenotypic variation at a
system-wide scale. Here, we constructed a maize network map that contains the genomic …

Increasing the proportion of locally produced plant protein in currently meat-rich diets could
substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions and loss of biodiversity. However, plant …

Hornworts comprise a bryophyte lineage that diverged from other extant land plants> 400
million years ago and bears unique biological features, including a distinct sporophyte …

Chloranthales remain the last major mesangiosperm lineage without a nuclear genome
assembly. We therefore assemble a high-quality chromosome-level genome of Chloranthus …

Legumes form symbiosis with rhizobium leading to the development of nitrogen-fixing
nodules. By integrating single-nucleus and spatial transcriptomics, we established a cell …

It is only recently, with the advent of long-read sequencing technologies, that we are
beginning to uncover previously uncharted regions of complex and inherently recursive …

All extant core-eudicot plants share a common ancestral genome that has experienced
cyclic polyploidizations and (re) diploidizations. Reshuffling of the ancestral core-eudicot …
