This paper introduces an optimized smFISH protocol for plant tissue cryosections, enabling precise quantification of mRNA and validation of scRNA-seq data.

The paper investigates cold-induced repression of FLC in Arabidopsis, finding distinct mechanisms involving splicing changes and reduced transcription initiation, separate from warm-induced repression.

This study shows that local adaptation in Arabidopsis thaliana involves strong and variable selection on multiple traits, with trade-offs and life-history strategies affecting fitness.

This study annotates the wheat pan-transcriptome de novo and identifies gene diversity and expression patterns across multiple wheat cultivars and tissues.

The paper identifies G-quadruplex structures in cold-adapted plants, showing they enhance mRNA stability and improve cold response.

This paper uses machine learning to predict circadian gene expression in Arabidopsis using DNA sequence features, identifies key regulatory elements, and optimizes sampling strategies for circadian transcript prediction.
