Genome-wide mapping of DCP2-dependent 5' cap footprints in Arabidopsis thaliana

This study maps DCP2-dependent 5' cap footprints in Arabidopsis thaliana using in vitro decapping and transcriptome sequencing, revealing 13,000 capped transcripts and their role in RNA stability and decay pathways.

The SAUERKRAUT transposable element acceleratesArabidopsis floral transition

This study identifies the SAUERKRAUT transposable element's role in accelerating Arabidopsis floral transition under salt stress by modulating IBA homeostasis.

Premeiotic 24-nt phasiRNAs are present in the Zea genus and unique in biogenesis mechanism and molecular function

The paper identifies premeiotic 24-nt phasiRNAs in maize and related species, showing they are distinct from meiotic 24-nt phasiRNAs in biogenesis and function.

Precise Transcript Reconstruction with End-Guided Assembly

Bookend improves transcript assembly by using 5' and 3' end information from RNA-seq data, achieving accurate transcriptome reconstruction in single cells and model organisms.

The Arabidopsis m6A-binding proteins ECT2 and ECT3 bind largely overlapping mRNA target sets and influence target mRNA abundance, not alternative polyadenylation

The paper identifies overlapping mRNA targets of ECT2 and ECT3 using HyperTRIBE and shows they regulate target mRNA abundance, not alternative polyadenylation.

MicroRNA Dynamics and Functions During Arabidopsis Embryogenesis

The paper profiles miRNAs and their targets during Arabidopsis embryogenesis, showing their role in regulating transcription factors and embryo morphogenesis.

The embryonic transcriptome of Arabidopsis thaliana

The paper develops a low-input mRNA-seq method to profile Arabidopsis embryos across developmental stages, revealing unique transcriptomes and four distinct transcriptional phases.
