This study identifies centromeric repeat turnovers in Arabidopsis species, revealing evolutionary mechanisms and the role of genetic drift and centromere drive in repeat replacement.

The paper investigates how metal toxicity influences bacterial community composition in the Arabidopsis phyllosphere by analyzing metal sensitivity, gene content, and phylogeny of bacterial strains.

The paper investigates sRNA precursors at the Arabidopsis self-incompatibility locus, showing they repress recessive alleles through non-canonical pathways and generate diverse sRNA molecules.

The paper models interlocus gene conversion in tandem paralogues using Arabidopsis halleri HMA4 genes to show mosaic divergence patterns and the impact of IGC on gene copy diversity.

This study identifies cis-regulatory elements in Arabidopsis halleri that co-opt the circadian clock to enhance HMA4 expression, contributing to heavy metal hyperaccumulation.

The paper quantifies chloroplast ionomes in multiple species and shows that genetic manipulation affects iron storage in chloroplasts.

This study investigates the evolutionary history and functional specialization of miRNA genes in Arabidopsis halleri and A. lyrata, showing rapid birth-and-death dynamics and integration into core biological processes.

This study shows that genetic incompatibilities in pollen cause segregation distortion in Arabidopsis species and populations, increasing with genetic distance and contributing to reproductive isolation.

This paper identifies DPH2 in Arabidopsis as essential for diphthamide biosynthesis, showing its role in stress resistance and growth regulation through interactions with DPH1.

This study shows auranofin forms S-Au-S bonds between cysteine thiols in proteins, independent of thioredoxin reductase, suggesting a new mechanism for its antibacterial activity.

This paper shows that trans-translation inhibitors KKL-40 and KKL-55 synergize with copper ions to enhance antibacterial activity against B. subtilis by causing rapid translation stalling and preventing copper toxicity response.

This study uses population genomics to analyze climate adaptation and demographic history in Japanese Arabidopsis halleri, revealing genetic differentiation and selection signatures linked to climate variables.
