  • Soapwort (Saponaria officinalis) is a rich reservoir of triterpenoid glycosides that often have important pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and agronomical potential. Here, the authors elucidate the complete biosynthetic pathway of saponarioside B, a major saponin constituent in soapwort.

  • The genome of the model fern species Ceratopteris richardii reveals a history of remarkably dynamic genome evolution, including rapid changes in genome content and structure following the most recent whole-genome duplication approximately 60 million years ago.

  • Newly sequenced seagrass genomes unveil a hexaploid ancestry for seagrasses. The transition to marine environments involved fine-tuning of many processes that all had to happen in parallel, probably explaining why adaptation to a marine lifestyle has been rare.

  • Finger millet is an orphan crop key to food security of people living in eastern Africa, India and Nepal. Here, the authors assemble its genome, conduct population genetics analyses to infer the diversification history, and reveal a candidate gene for purple coloration of anthers and stigma.

  • The genome of the biofuel crop switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) reveals climate–gene–biomass associations that underlie adaptation in nature and will facilitate improvements of the yield of this crop for bioenergy production.

  • Existing plant pan-genomic studies usually report considerable intraspecific whole gene presence-absence variation. Here, the authors use pan-genomic approach to reveal gradual polyploid genome evolution by analyzing of Brachypodium hybridum and its diploid progenitors.

  • Drought is a major factor limiting crop productivity. Here, via eQTL analysis and comparative genomics, the authors show compensatory evolution between trans-regulatory loci and transcription factor binding sites that shape the drought response networks in the model C4 grass Panicum hallii.
