Cotranscriptional demethylation induces global loss of H3K4me2 from active genes in Arabidopsis

This study shows that LDL3-mediated H3K4me2 demethylation occurs cotranscriptionally in Arabidopsis, disrupting the negative correlation between H3K4me2 and transcription in the ldl3 mutant.

Local induction of IAA5 and IAA29 promotes DNA damage-triggered stem cell death in Arabidopsis roots

The paper shows that IAA5 and IAA29 promote DNA damage-triggered stem cell death in Arabidopsis roots by suppressing auxin signaling.

Tandemly repeated genes promote RNAi-mediated heterochromatin formation via an anti-silencing factor Epe1 in fission yeast

The mechanochemical origins of the microtubule sliding motility within the kinesin-5 domain organization

This study investigates how the structural features of kinesin-5, specifically tail-motor domain interactions and minifilament length, influence microtubule sliding motility and spindle organization.

DNA damage inhibits root growth by enhancing cytokinin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana.

This study shows DNA damage in Arabidopsis roots increases cytokinin synthesis, which suppresses auxin transport and reduces root growth.

Removal of repressive histone marks creates epigenetic memory of recurring heat in Arabidopsis

The paper shows that JMJ proteins remove repressive histone marks in Arabidopsis, enabling epigenetic memory of heat exposure to improve heat tolerance.

The Kinesin-5 Tail Domain Directly Modulates the Mechanochemical Cycle of the Motor for Anti-Parallel Microtubule Sliding

This study shows the kinesin-5 tail domain regulates motor activity by modulating ATP hydrolysis and microtubule sliding, leading to slow motility and force generation.
