Transposon-triggered epigenetic chromatin dynamics modulate EFR-related pathogen response

R. Mencia, A. L. Arce, C. Houriet, W. Xian, A. Contreras, G. Shirsekar, D. Weigel, P. A. Manavella

This study shows how a transposon influences chromatin structure to regulate immune response genes in Arabidopsis, providing insights for crop improvement.

Comparative Phylogenomics and Phylotranscriptomics Provide Insights into the Genetic Complexity of Nitrogen Fixing Root Nodule Symbiosis

Y. Zhang, Y. Fu, W. Xian, X. Li, Y. Feng, F. Bu, Y. Shi, S. Chen, R. v. Velzen, A. M. Berry, M. G. Salgado, H. Liu, T. Yi, P. Fournier, N. Alloisio, , S. Cheng

The paper uses phylogenomic and phylotranscriptomic analyses to study the evolution of nitrogen-fixing root nodule symbiosis across the Nitrogen-Fixing Nodulation Clade, finding no convergence at the amino acid level and highlighting the role of NIN as a master regulator.

Report of mutation biases mirroring selection in Arabidopsis thaliana unlikely to be entirely due to variant calling errors

J. G. Monroe, K. D. Murray, W. Xian, P. Carbonell-Bejerano, C. B. Fenster, D. Weigel

The paper shows mutation rate biases in Arabidopsis thaliana are not fully explained by variant calling errors and are supported by multiple data sets and mechanistic evidence.
