This study analyzes genetic variation in Marchantia polymorpha subspecies ruderalis to identify climate adaptation signals, finding significant differentiation between European and Japanese populations linked to temperature and precipitation.

The paper maps the chromatin landscape of hornworts to infer the ancestral chromatin structure of bryophytes and land plants.

The paper investigates how histone variants, particularly H2A variants, influence chromatin states in Arabidopsis thaliana by examining their interactions with chromatin remodelers like DDM1.

The paper shows that paternal chromosome repression via Polycomb mark H3K27me3 maintains haploid gene dosage in diploid embryos of Marchantia polymorpha.

The paper identifies chromatin landscapes in Arabidopsis that regulate transcriptional activity, showing that histone variants and modifications define these landscapes rather than the reverse.

This study identifies a CENH3 mutation that restores fertility in SMG7-deficient Arabidopsis by promoting meiotic exit and reducing aberrant divisions.

The paper analyzes chromatin organization in the early land plant Marchantia polymorpha, revealing an ancestral role of H3K27me3 in transposon silencing and heterochromatin formation.
