Resilience of genetic diversity in forest trees over the Quaternary

European forest tree species experienced strong climatic fluctuations over Quaternary. In spite of these pronounced environmental changes, population genomic analyses reveal that major forest tree species managed to retain their evolutionary potential over the period.

The genetic architecture of repeated local adaptation to climate in distantly related plants

Analysis of genomic data from 25 distantly related plant species shows signatures of selection on the same gene families and functions that repeatedly contributed to local adaptation to climate.

Larix species range dynamics in Siberia since the Last Glacial captured from sedimentary ancient DNA

Using ancient sedimentary DNA from up to 50 kya, dramatic distributional shifts are documented in two dominant boreal larch species, likely guided by environmental changes suggesting climate as a strong determinant of species distribution.

Paternally expressed imprinted genes associate with hybridization barriers in Capsella

Reproductive barriers mediated by endosperm defects prevent gene flow between species. New evidence from Capsella shows that the divergence of paternally expressed imprinted genes between species driven by transposable elements, contributes to this barrier.

Allorecognition genes drive reproductive isolation in Podospora anserina

Genetic, ecological and simulation data demonstrate that the origin and coexistence of reproductively isolated sympatric groups in a fungus is driven by pleiotropic vegetative incompatibility genes under balancing selection.

Genomic insights into salt adaptation in a desert poplar

Little is known about the genes that confer salt tolerance in trees. Here, Ma et al. report the genome sequence of the desert poplar, Populus euphratica, and provide insight into the genetic architecture and adaptation of this salt tolerant desert poplar.

Genome-wide analyses of introgression between two sympatric Asian oak species

Introgression is an important source of genetic variation. Analysing genomes of two sympatric widespread Asian oak species, the authors find introgression across the genome and signatures of adaptive introgression in regions with suppressed recombination rate.

Author Correction: Genome sequencing and population genomic analyses provide insights into the adaptive landscape of silver birch

In the version of this article initially published, there was a mistake in the calculation of the nucleotide mutation rate per site per generation: 1 × 10⁻⁹ mutations per site per generation was used, whereas 9.5 × 10⁻⁹ was correct. This error affects the interpretation of population-size changes over time and their possible correspondence with known geological events, as shown in the original Fig. 4 and supporting discussion in the text, as well as details in the Supplementary Note. Neither the data themselves nor any other results are affected. Figure 4 has been revised accordingly. Images of the original and corrected figure panels are shown in the correction notice.

Convergent evolution of complex genomic rearrangements in two fungal meiotic drive elements

Meiotic drive elements are selfish genetic elements that mediate a skew in their sexual transmission from parent to offspring. Here, the authors sequence and analyze large and complex genomic regions associated with meiotic drive elements in the fungus Neurospora intermedia.

Genome sequencing and population genomic analyses provide insights into the adaptive landscape of silver birch

Victor Albert, Petri Auvinen, Ykä Helariutta, Jaakko Kangasjärvi and colleagues report the reference genome of the silver birch (Betula pendula) and resequencing of 150 birch individuals. They infer past population size crashes consistent with historical periods of climatic change and identify candidate targets of more recent positive selection.

Oak genome reveals facets of long lifespan

Oaks can live hundreds of years. Comparative genomics using a high-quality genome sequence provides new insights that may explain tree longevity. Samples from branches and corresponding acorns also help quantify heritable somatic mutations.
