Polyploidy, defined as the coexistence of three or more complete sets of chromosomes in an
organism's cells, is considered as a pivotal moving force in the evolutionary history of …

Flowering plants, or angiosperms, consist of more than 300,000 species, far more than any
other land plant lineages. The accumulated evidence indicates that multiple ancient …

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

Post-polyploid diploidization associated with descending dysploidy and interspecific
introgression drives plant genome evolution by unclear mechanisms. Raphanus is an …

Increasing studies suggest that the biased retention of stress‐related transcription factors
(TFs) after whole‐genome duplications (WGDs) could rewire gene transcriptional networks …

Monoculture crop** systems currently dominate temperate agroecosystems. However,
intercrop** can provide valuable benefits, including greater yield stability, increased total …

Bryophytes including mosses, liverworts, and hornworts are among the earliest land plants,
and occupy a crucial phylogenetic position to aid in the understanding of plant …

Heat shock transcription factor (Hsf) plays a critical role in regulating heat resistance. Here,
2950 Hsf family genes were identified from 111 horticultural and representative plants. More …

The auxin response factor (ARF) and auxin/indole-3-acetic acid (Aux/IAA) family of genes
are central components of the auxin signaling pathway and play essential roles in plant …

Stephania japonica is an early-diverging eudicotyledon plant with high levels of
cepharanthine, proven to be effective in curing coronavirus infections. Here, we report a high …
