This study identifies PDS5A as a key regulator of chromatin loop extrusion and TAD-like domains in Arabidopsis, revealing a promoter- and motif-based mechanism for loop anchoring and transcriptional control.

The paper identifies an exonic enhancer in the BRI1 gene that regulates its expression and development, showing that exon-encoded regulatory information is conserved across plant species.

This study identifies the tomato MARS1/ROUGH gene, which encodes a histone demethylase, and shows its role in regulating adventitious root formation and fruit skin development through epigenetic mechanisms.

This study identifies the DREAM complex as a transcriptional regulator of meiotic recombination in Arabidopsis, showing its role in controlling recombination genes and fertility.

The paper shows that H2B.8 eviction during seed imbibition initiates replication-independent chromatin reprogramming in Arabidopsis.

This study identifies RS2Z35 and RS2Z36 as plant-specific splicing factors that regulate HSFA2 intron splicing and thermotolerance in tomato under heat stress.

This study shows RTEL1 is essential for transcriptional silencing and maintaining epigenetic marks in Arabidopsis, with loss of RTEL1 leading to altered H3K27me3 and DNA methylation patterns.

The paper shows E2FA and E2FB transcription factors in Arabidopsis differently contribute to the plant response to DNA replication defects, working cooperatively with SOG1.

The paper identifies the lncRNA MARS as a regulator of epigenetic reprogramming in the Arabidopsis marneral cluster in response to ABA, modulating chromatin structure and gene expression.

This study shows that DNA polymerase epsilon subunit POL2A is essential for maintaining heterochromatin structure and function in Arabidopsis by preventing replicative stress and regulating epigenetic marks.

This study examines homoeologous copy number variations in hexaploid wheat, showing that triads represent core genes while dyads and tetrads are dispensable, with subgenome differences linked to post-polyploid diploidization.

This study shows that the lncRNA ASCO modulates alternative splicing in Arabidopsis by interacting with splicing factors PRP8a and SmD1b, affecting flagellin responses and biotic stress.
