The Lettuce Expression Browser: from lab to LEB

The Lettuce Expression Browser provides a high-resolution gene expression atlas for cultivated and wild lettuce, enabling exploration of gene activity across development and stress conditions.

A phospholipid-dependent PDK1-AGC kinase cascade regulates pollen tube growth

This study identifies a phospholipid-dependent PDK1-AGC kinase cascade that regulates pollen tube growth polarity in Arabidopsis.

The plant longevity gene AHL15 delays leaf senescence by repressing ORESARA1 and cytokinin degradation

This study shows AHL15 delays leaf senescence in Arabidopsis by repressing ORESARA1 and cytokinin degradation genes.

GreenLeafVI: A FIJI plugin for high-throughput analysis of leaf chlorophyll content

GreenLeafVI is a FIJI plugin that enables high-throughput leaf chlorophyll content measurement using image-based colorimetric analysis, showing accuracy comparable to traditional methods.

AT-HOOK-MOTIF NUCLEAR LOCALIZED 15 extends plant longevity by binding at poorly accessible, epigenetic mark-depleted chromatin that surrounds transcribed regions

This study identifies AHL15 binding sites in Arabidopsis and shows it regulates gene expression through 3D chromatin organization rather than chromatin accessibility or histone modifications.

From aerial drone to QTL: Leveraging next-generation phenotyping to reveal the genetics of color and height in field-grown Lactuca sativa

This study uses drone-based phenotyping to conduct a GWAS on lettuce, confirming known QTLs and identifying new ones for plant height and color in field conditions.

The effect of short-term activation of AHL15 on long-term plant developmental change and transcriptome profile

The paper shows that transient activation of AHL15-GR in Arabidopsis seedlings causes long-term transcriptome reprogramming and chromatin changes.
