The paper introduces SirenScan to identify siren loci in angiosperms and shows their conserved presence in ovules with lineage-specific regulatory and transposon diversity.

Samplify automates seed segmentation and classification in Arabidopsis, improving efficiency and reducing user bias in seed abortion phenotyping.

The paper shows that maternal sporophytic RNA decay safeguards embryo development by suppressing seed abortion through secondary siRNAs and AGO1 overload.

The paper identifies PELE as a protein that balances vacuolar and secretory trafficking to maintain the organelle band for spindle separation during Arabidopsis meiosis.

This study investigates the effects of chemically induced transposon mobilization on genomic imprinting in Arabidopsis endosperm, showing preferential targeting of maternally expressed genes and transcriptional deregulation.

The paper shows that combinations of repressive epigenetic marks in Arabidopsis endosperm regulate seed dormancy by modulating REF6 activity during germination.

Inbreeding of RdDM mutants enhances their ability to suppress the triploid block across generations.

The paper identifies an epigenetic signature in Arabidopsis endosperm that marks imprinted paternally-expressed genes and predicts new ones with high accuracy.
