High-quality genome assembly of several Noccaea caerulescens accessions reveals gene expansion events associated with metal adaptation and hyperaccumulation

This study improves genome assemblies of Noccaea caerulescens accessions and identifies gene copy number variations linked to metal hyperaccumulation and adaptation.

Dynamic 2'-O-Me of rRNA regulates ribosome translation in Arabidopsis nucleolin1 mutants and during seed-to-seedling transition

This study shows that 2'-O-Me modifications on rRNA are dynamically regulated during seed-to-seedling transition in Arabidopsis and affect ribosome translation.

Drying kinetics govern transcriptional and post-transcriptional reprogramming during seed maturation

This study investigates how different drying rates during seed maturation affect transcriptional and post-transcriptional changes in Arabidopsis thaliana, revealing that slow drying enhances desiccation tolerance through distinct molecular mechanisms.

A cryptic hybrid zone reveals the genomic basis of flower colour variation in a plant with a large and complex genome

The paper identifies candidate loci for flower color variation in Pedicularis comosa using a multi-omic approach, revealing the involvement of anthocyanin pathway genes.

Loss of tRNA uridine thiolation affects mRNA translation, protein production, and sulfur-compound metabolism in Arabidopsis

Oryza genome evolution through a tetraploid lens

The paper presents 11 new chromosome-level genome assemblies of Oryza species, revealing core genome conservation and subgenome plasticity, and highlights implications for crop improvement.

Regulation of co-translational mRNA decay by PAP and DXO1 in Arabidopsis

This study investigates the regulation of co-translational mRNA decay (CTRD) in Arabidopsis, showing that PAP inhibits XRN4 and DXO1, with DXO1 specifically targeting stress-response mRNAs.

Genome-wide analysis of mRNA decay in Arabidopsis shoot and root reveals the importance of co-translational mRNA decay in the general mRNA turnover

The paper investigates the role of co-translational mRNA decay (CTRD) in mRNA turnover by analyzing genome-wide decay rates in Arabidopsis shoot and root using a CTRD-impaired line.

A multi-transcriptomics approach reveals the coordinated action of the endoribonuclease DNE1 and the decapping machinery in orchestrating mRNA decay

This study uses multi-transcriptomics to show DNE1 and decapping machinery work together to control mRNA decay and influence siRNA production in Arabidopsis.

The replicative amplification of MITEs and their impact on rice trait variability

The paper analyzes MITE insertions in rice genomes to show their role in trait variability and proposes a replicative amplification mechanism for MITEs.
