Article Synopsis
- * The study focuses on two species of plants: a karst endemic species and its widely distributed relative in East Asia, using advanced genome sequencing to explore their evolutionary relationship.
- * Findings highlight significant genetic differences between the two species, including adaptations to high calcium stress, revealing both convergent evolution traits and the early stages of speciation within their genus.
The genome of the king protea, Protea cynaroides.

The king protea (Protea cynaroides), an early-diverging eudicot, is the most iconic species from the Megadiverse Cape Floristic Region, and the national flower of South Africa. Perhaps best known for its iconic flower head, Protea is a key genus for the South African horticulture industry and cut-flower market. Ecologically, the genus and the family Proteaceae are important models for radiation and adaptation, particularly to soils with limited phosphorus bio-availability.

Article Synopsis
- Euphyllophytes, which include ferns and seed plants, are crucial for understanding plant evolution; decoding fern genomes is key to unlocking their origins and the evolution of seed plants.
- A new chromosome-level genome assembly of the fern Adiantum capillus-veneris has been completed, revealing 30 pseudochromosomes with a total size of 4.8 gigabases, and showing high genetic similarities in development with seed plant pollen.
- Findings from gene co-expression and defense response analyses highlight important evolutionary changes in gene families among euphyllophytes, providing a foundation for further research into fern genetics and the broader evolution of land plants.
Reshuffling of the ancestral core-eudicot genome shaped chromatin topology and epigenetic modification in Panax.

All extant core-eudicot plants share a common ancestral genome that has experienced cyclic polyploidizations and (re)diploidizations. Reshuffling of the ancestral core-eudicot genome generates abundant genomic diversity, but the role of this diversity in shaping the hierarchical genome architecture, such as chromatin topology and gene expression, remains poorly understood. Here, we assemble chromosome-level genomes of one diploid and three tetraploid Panax species and conduct in-depth comparative genomic and epigenomic analyses.
