Epigenetic and transcriptional consequences of chemically induced transposon mobilization in the endosperm

This study investigates the effects of chemically induced transposon mobilization on genomic imprinting in Arabidopsis endosperm, showing preferential targeting of maternally expressed genes and transcriptional deregulation.

The evolutionary dynamics of genetic incompatibilities introduced by duplicated genes in Arabidopsis thaliana

The paper identifies genetic incompatibilities from duplicated genes in Arabidopsis thaliana using GWAS and natural population data, showing how these incompatibilities coexist and are mitigated by additional gene copies.

A shortcut in forward genetics: concurrent discovery of mutant phenotype and causal mutation in Arabidopsis M2 families via MAD-mapping

This paper introduces MAD-mapping to identify causal mutations in M2 families directly, bypassing the need for F2 populations in forward genetics.

Natural variation identifies a Pxy gene controlling root vascular organization and formation of nodules and lateral roots in Lotus japonicus

Strengths and potential pitfalls of hay-transfer for ecological restoration revealed by RAD-seq analysis in floodplain Arabis species

This study uses RAD-seq to assess how hay-transfer affects genetic diversity in floodplain Arabis species, showing it maintains diversity but with species-specific outcomes.

The striking flower-in-flower phenotype of Arabidopsis thaliana Nossen (No-0) is caused by a novel LEAFY allele

This paper identifies a novel LEAFY allele in Arabidopsis thaliana No-0 that causes a flower-in-flower phenotype due to disrupted DNA-binding function.

Snf2 controls pulcherriminic acid biosynthesis and connects pigmentation and antifungal activity of the yeast Metschnikowia pulcherrima

This paper identifies SNF2 as a regulator of antifungal activity and pulcherriminic acid biosynthesis in Metschnikowia pulcherrima by comparing a wildtype strain with a pigmentless mutant.

Extreme genetic signatures of local adaptation during plant colonization

The paper investigates genetic adaptations during the colonization of Japan by Lotus japonicus, identifying genomic regions and candidate genes associated with overwintering and flowering time traits.
