Functional conservation and divergence of Arabidopsis VENOSA4 and human SAMHD1 in DNA repair

The study shows that VEN4 in Arabidopsis and SAMHD1 in humans both participate in DNA repair via homologous recombination, with VEN4 conserving this function despite differences in dNTP metabolism.

Postembryonic developmental roles of the Arabidopsis KEULE gene

This study identifies hypomorphic keule mutants in Arabidopsis that exhibit developmental defects in leaf morphology and senescence, linking KEULE's role to cytokinesis and cell wall integrity.

Overlapping roles of Arabidopsis INCURVATA11 and CUPULIFORMIS2 as Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 accessory proteins

This study identifies ICU11 and CP2 as PRC2 accessory proteins in Arabidopsis, showing they interact with PRC2 core components and share similar transcriptomic effects with PRC2 mutants.

The unequal functional redundancy of Arabidopsis INCURVATA11 and CUPULIFORMIS2 is not dependent on genetic background

The study confirms unequal functional redundancy between Arabidopsis ICU11 and CP2 genes, showing it is not dependent on genetic background or allele type.
