The transcriptome landscape of developing barley seeds reveals H3K27me3 dynamics in endosperm tissues

Amyloid-β seeding effects are dependent on the presence of knock-in genes in the AppNL-G-F mice.

This study seeds Aβ peptides into AppNL-G-F mice to assess their impact on cognition and pathology, finding effects depend on the presence of the humanized App gene and Aβ in the seed.

Intact rDNA arrays of Potentilla-origin detected in Erythronium nucleus suggest recent eudicot-to-monocot horizontal transfer

This study identifies an eudicot-origin rDNA horizontally transferred to the monocot Erythronium genome, showing it is tandemly arrayed and transcriptionally active.

IDENTIFICATION OF POLYCOMB REPRESSIVE COMPLEX 1 AND 2 CORE COMPONENTS IN HEXAPLOID BREAD WHEAT

The paper identifies and analyzes Polycomb repressive complex 1 and 2 subunits in bread wheat, reconstructs their evolutionary history, and examines their transcription across 33 developmental stages.

Evolution of sex determination and heterogamety changes in section Otites of the genus Silene

The paper investigates the evolution of sex determination in Silene section Otites, confirming female heterogamety in two species and suggesting a possible shift from female to male heterogamety.
