TL;DR: In this paper, a whole-genome sequence for the resurrection plant X. viscosa was used to understand the molecular and genetic mechanisms enabling vegetative desiccation tolerance.

TL;DR: ENO is identified as a tomato fruit regulator, which may function by regulating WUSCHEL gene expression to restrict stem-cell proliferation in a flower-specific manner and exhibits synergistic effects with mutations at the LOCULE NUMBER and FASCIATED loci, two central players in the evolution of fruit size in the domestication of cultivated tomatoes.

TL;DR: A high-quality whole-genome sequence for the resurrection plant Xerophyta viscosa is produced and strong support is provided for the hypothesis that vegetative Desiccation tolerance arose by redirection of genetic information from desiccation-tolerant seeds.

TL;DR: This review shows how quantitative genetics has evolved recently in plants and how new developments in phenotyping, population generation, sequencing, gene manipulation, and statistics are rejuvenating both the classical linkage mapping approaches (for example, through nested association mapping) as well as the more recently developed genome-wide association studies.

TL;DR: The authors use genome resequencing data for 602 tomato accessions together with transcriptomic and extensive phenotypic information to investigate the contribution of transposable element insertion polymorphisms (TIPs) to tomato diversity.
