    Joint inference of evolutionary transitions to self-fertilization and demographic history using whole-genome sequences

    Stefan Strütt, Thibaut Sellinger ... Stefan Laurent
    Transitions from outcrossing to selfing, a major shift in mating systems, create a specific signature in intra-specific genetic polymorphisms, which can be used to infer the demographic history of populations and acquire valuable insights about the evolution of recombination rates.

    Natural genetic variation underlying the negative effect of elevated CO2 on ionome composition in Arabidopsis thaliana

    Oceane Cassan, Lea-Lou Pimpare ... Antoine Martin
    Plants show a high level of genetic diversity in their response to elevated CO2, suggesting the presence of genetic mechanisms that will allow them to adapt to this environmental change.

    Widespread premature transcription termination of Arabidopsis thaliana NLR genes by the spen protein FPA

    Matthew T Parker, Katarzyna Knop ... Gordon G Simpson
    The expression of Arabidopsis NLR immune response genes is modulated by premature transcription termination, and this has implications for understanding NLR regulation and evolutionary dynamics.

    Root cap cell corpse clearance limits microbial colonization in Arabidopsis thaliana

    Nyasha Charura, Ernesto Llamas ... Alga Zuccaro
    Programmed cell death during plant development (dPCD) is crucial for Arabidopsis thaliana root defense, limiting microbial invasion and maintaining a balanced relationship with beneficial microbes.

    Estimating the burden of α-thalassaemia in Thailand using a comprehensive prevalence database for Southeast Asia

    Carinna Hockham, Supachai Ekwattanakit ... Frédéric B Piel
    The incorporation of as yet underused local epidemiological data on α-thalassaemia in Southeast Asia within a geostatistical model suggests that the burden of severe α-thalassaemia forms may have been underestimated.

    The Natural History of Model Organisms: Planting molecular functions in an ecological context with Arabidopsis thaliana

    Ute Krämer
    Research in molecular ecology and evolution is increasingly utilizing the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, placing a spotlight on its natural history.

    Genetic variation, environment and demography intersect to shape Arabidopsis defense metabolite variation across Europe

    Ella Katz, Jia-Jie Li ... Daniel J Kliebenstein
    Measurements of specialized metabolites across a population of 800 natural Arabidopsis thaliana accessions revealed different pressures and evolutionary processes that shaped their variation and distribution across Europe.

    Estimating dispersal rates and locating genetic ancestors with genome-wide genealogies

    Matthew Osmond, Graham Coop
    A new method to infer the spatial history of genetic ancestors from a sequence of trees along a recombining genome.

    Locally adaptive temperature response of vegetative growth in Arabidopsis thaliana

    Pieter Clauw, Envel Kerdaffrec ... Magnus Nordborg
    Growth of Arabidopsis seedlings at low temperatures differs between plants that hail from different parts of the world in a way that suggests climate adaptation.

    Genetic basis of Arabidopsis thaliana responses to infection by naïve and adapted isolates of turnip mosaic virus

    Anamarija Butkovic, Thomas James Ellis ... Santiago F Elena
    Arabidopsis lines were screened for resistance to TuMV, identifying a region on chromosome 2 linked to necrosis that includes an antiviral gene.
