From 2014 - 2022, Matt Johnson collaborated with the Landscapes of Linalool, an NSF-funded Dimensions of Biodviersity project led by Drs. Krissa Skogen, Jeremie Fant, and Norman Wickett at the Chicago Botanic Garden. The project resulted in a large number of phylogenomics papers, including:

• L.L. Bechen*, M.G. Johnson, G. Broadhead, R. A. Levin, R.P. Overson, T. Jogesh, J.B. Fant, R.A. Raguso, K.A. Skogen, and N.J. Wickett. 2022. Differential gene expression associated with a floral scent polymorphism in the evening primrose Oenothera harringtonii (Onagraceae) 2022. BMC Genomics 23(124) doi:10.1186/s12864-022-08370-6
