The study generated two allotriploid Brassica hybrids (ArAnCn) to investigate asymmetric subgenome dominance, finding that the Cn subgenome dominates despite the An subgenome showing highest expression levels. Increased density of accessible chromatin regions (ACRs) in the Cn subgenome correlates with dominant gene expression, while changes in CHH methylation and specific RNA‑directed DNA methylation pathway mutants affect subgenome bias.

The study investigates how miR394 influences flowering time in Arabidopsis thaliana by combining transcriptomic profiling of mir394a mir394b double mutants with histological analysis of reporter lines. Bioinformatic analysis identified a novel lncRNA overlapping MIR394B (named MIRAST), and differential promoter activity of MIR394A and MIR394B suggests miR394 fine‑tunes flower development through transcription factor and chromatin remodeler regulation.

The study generated de‑novo genome assemblies for the resistant wild relative Solanum dulcamara and the susceptible Solanum nigrum using a hybrid Oxford Nanopore and Illumina sequencing strategy. Comparative genomic analyses identified auxin‑transport genes and novel pattern recognition receptor orthogroups unique to resistant species, as well as differential gene‑body methylation that may underlie resistance to Ralstonia solanacearum.

The study examined transcriptomic responses of the tropical seagrass Halophila stipulacea from a pristine and an impacted site under single and combined thermal and excess nutrient stress in mesocosms. Combined stress caused greater gene reprogramming than individual stresses, with thermal effects dominating and the impacted population showing reduced plasticity but higher resilience. Core stress‑response genes were identified as potential early field indicators of environmental stress.
