Quantitative RNA spatial profiling using single-molecule RNA FISH on plant tissue cryosections

This paper introduces an optimized smFISH protocol for plant tissue cryosections, enabling precise quantification of mRNA and validation of scRNA-seq data.

Differences in RAD51 transcriptional response and cell cycle dynamics reveal varying sensitivity to DNA damage among Arabidopsis thaliana root cell types

The paper examines RAD51 transcriptional response and cell cycle dynamics in Arabidopsis root cell types under DNA damage, revealing differences in sensitivity to genotoxic stress.

Dominance between self-incompatibility alleles determines the mating system of Capsella allopolyploids

This study shows that dominance between self-incompatibility alleles determines the mating system of allopolyploid Capsella species.

Whole-mount smFISH allows combining RNA and protein quantification at cellular and subcellular resolution

The paper introduces a method to quantify mRNA and protein at cellular and subcellular resolution in plants using whole-mount smFISH.

Convergence and molecular evolution of floral fragrance after independent transitions to self fertilization

The paper investigates convergent evolution of floral fragrance in self-fertilizing Capsella species, finding shared compound changes and mutations affecting scent emission.

The plant-specific DDR factor SOG1 increases chromatin mobility in response to DNA damage

The paper measures chromatin mobility in Arabidopsis thaliana during DNA damage and finds that the DDR factor SOG1 increases mobility, which is reduced in sog1-1 mutants.

A common molecular basis to the convergent evolution of the selfing syndrome in Capsella

This study investigates convergent evolution of selfing syndrome in Capsella species, finding shared genetic and developmental pathways underlying similar flower morphology changes.
