The rapid expansion of next‐generation sequencing has yielded a powerful array of tools to
address fundamental biological questions at a scale that was inconceivable just a few years …

Sex chromosomes can evolve once recombination is halted between a homologous pair of
chromosomes. Owing to detailed studies using key model systems, we have a nuanced …

Background Although draft genomes are available for most agronomically important plant
species, the majority are incomplete, highly fragmented, and often riddled with assembly …

• Premise of the study: Hyb‐Seq, the combination of target enrichment and genome
skimming, allows simultaneous data collection for low‐copy nuclear genes and high‐copy …

Whole-genome duplications are radical evolutionary events that have driven speciation and
adaptation in many taxa. Higher-order polyploids have complex histories often including …

The cultivated strawberry, Fragaria× ananassa, is one of the youngest domesticated plants.
Its 18th century origin via hybridization in Europe between the North American F. virginiana …

Cultivated strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) is octoploid and shows allogamous behaviour.
The present study aims at dissecting this octoploid genome through comparison with its wild …

• Premise of the study: The Compositae (Asteraceae) are a large and diverse family of
plants, and the most comprehensive phylogeny to date is a meta‐tree based on 10 …

Evolutionary radiations are prominent and pervasive across many plant lineages in diverse
geographical and ecological settings; in neotropical rainforests there is growing evidence …

Although individuals in most flowering plant species, and in many haploid plants, have both
sex functions, dioecious species—in which individuals have either male or female functions …
