A CENH3 mutation promotes meiotic exit and restores fertility in SMG7-deficient Arabidopsis

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

Diurnal transcript profiling of the diatom Seminavisrobusta reveals adaptations to a benthic lifestyle

This study profiles the diurnal transcriptome of the benthic diatom Seminavis robusta, revealing rhythmic gene expression patterns and adaptations to its environment.

Mitotic interhomolog recombination drives genomic diversity in diatoms

The paper shows that mitotic interhomolog recombination generates genomic diversity in diatom clonal populations, with recombination rates exceeding 4% per cell division and increasing under stress.

Mating type specific transcriptomic response to sex inducing pheromone in the pennate diatom Seminavis robusta

The paper identifies genes responding to sex-inducing pheromones in the diatom Seminavis robusta and links them to sexual reproduction processes.

The Seminavis robusta genome provides insights into the evolutionary adaptations of benthic diatoms

The paper reports the genome of Seminavis robusta, a benthic diatom, revealing gene family expansions and adaptations related to light and oxygen sensing, and provides insights into genetic diversity and gene function in benthic diatoms.
