In this review we summarize recent advances in our understanding of phylogenetics,
polyploidization and comparative genomics in the family Brassicaceae. These findings pave the …

Many large and economically important plant groups (eg Brassicaceae, Poaceae,
Asteraceae, Fabaceae and Solanaceae) have had ancient whole genome duplications (WGDs) …

Cannabis sativa L. is an important yet controversial plant with a long history of recreational,
medicinal, industrial, and agricultural use, and together with its sister genus Humulus, it …

Despite the central importance of noncoding DNA to gene regulation and evolution, understanding
of the extent of selection on plant noncoding DNA remains limited compared to that of …

Petunia hybrida is a popular bedding plant that has a long history as a genetic model system.
We report the whole-genome sequencing and assembly of inbred derivatives of its two …

Functional genetic redundancy is widespread in plants and could have an important impact
on phenotypic diversity if the multiple gene copies act in an additive or dosage-dependent …

The development of multiple chromosome-scale reference genome sequences in many

Nodules harboring nitrogen-fixing rhizobia are a well-known trait of legumes, but nodules also
occur in other plant lineages, with rhizobia or the actinomycete Frankia as microsymbiont. …
