Transposable element-derived siRNAs control viral disease in Arabidopsis

Laura Elvira‐González, Christophe Himber, Calvin Matteoli, Luisa Felgines, Vanessa Fiess, Pauline Marie Kienzle, Julien Hennequart, Valérie Schurdi‐Levraud, Todd Blevins, Manfred Heinlein

The paper shows that 21-nucleotide siRNAs from transposable elements help Arabidopsis transition from disease to tolerance during viral infection.

CLSY docking to Pol IV requires a conserved domain critical for small RNA biogenesis and transposon silencing.

Luisa Felgines, Bart Rymen, Laura M. Martins, Guanghui Xu, Calvin Matteoli, Christophe Himber, Ming Zhou, Josh Eis, Ceyda Çoruh, Marcel Böhrer, Lauriane Kühn, Johana Chicher, Vijaya Pandey, Philippe Hammann, James Akira Wohlschlegel, , Todd Blevins

The paper identifies a conserved CYC-YPMF motif in Pol IV critical for CLSY docking, essential for small RNA biogenesis and transposon silencing.

Transposition of HOPPLA in siRNA-deficient plants suggests a limited effect of the environment on retrotransposon mobility in Brachypodium distachyon

Michael Thieme, Nikolaos Minadakis, Christophe Himber, Bettina Keller, Wenbo Xu, Kinga Rutowicz, Calvin Matteoli, Marcel Böhrer, Bart Rymen, Debbie Laudencia‐Chingcuanco, John P. Vogel, Richard Sibout, Christoph Stritt, Todd Blevins, Anne C. Roulin

The paper investigates the factors influencing LTR-RT mobility in Brachypodium distachyon, finding that environmental stress has limited effects while RNA polymerase IV loss significantly increases transposon activity.

The P25 protein of Potato virus X suppresses accumulation of 24nt siRNAs in the N. benthamiana transgenic line 16c

Shahinez Garcia, Christophe Himber, Olivier Voinnet

The paper confirms that the P25 protein of PVX inhibits local accumulation of 24nt GFP siRNAs in N. benthamiana line 16c.

Phenotypic analysis of Arabidopsis transgenic plants constitutively expressing the P6 protein from Cauliflower mosaic virus or mutant alleles thereof

Angèle Geldreich, Christophe Himber, Gabrielle Haas, Mario Keller, Olivier Voinnet

The paper confirms that constitutive expression of CaMV P6 in Arabidopsis causes stunted growth and chlorotic leaves, while mutant alleles do not.
