TL;DR: It appears that polyploidy and chromosomal diploidization are ongoing processes that collectively stabilize the B. rapa genome and facilitate its evolution.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic and evolutionary analyses suggest that relatively higher relaxation of selective constraints on the TNL group after the old duplication event resulted in greater accumulation of TNLs than CNLs in both Arabidopsis and Brassica genomes.

TL;DR: This work combines transcriptome sequencing with molecular genetics and network analysis to quantify and categorize the transcriptional changes occurring in roots of Medicago truncatula from minutes to days after inoculation with Sinorhizobium medicae, and models Nod factor- and ET-regulated signaling networks using MERLIN, a regulatory network inference algorithm.

TL;DR: A chromosome-scale draft genome sequence of radish that is assembled into nine chromosomal pseudomolecules is presented as well as novel insight into evolution of the mesohexaploid genomes in the tribe Brassiceae.

TL;DR: It appears that cross-species hybridization in sympatric habitats is an ongoing process that facilitates the diversification of flowering Prunus and reduced restriction of inter-specific hybridization due to strong gametophytic self-incompatibility is likely to promote complex hybridization of wild Prinus species and the development of a hybrid swarm.
