Functional RNA Interference in Hymenoscyphus fraxineus: Hairpin RNA-Induced Gene Silencing Of A Polyketide Synthase-like Gene

Linus Hohenwarter, Arvid Hanke, Alexandra Baßler, Gitta Jutta Langer, Gabi Krczal, Veli Vural Uslu

This study demonstrates functional RNA interference in Hymenoscyphus fraxineus and shows exogenous dsRNA can inhibit a polyketide synthase-like gene.

Target of rapamycin (TOR) regulates CURLY LEAF (CLF) translation in response to environmental stimuli

Yihan Dong, Ez-Zahra Oubassou, Elise Hoffmann, Wenna Zhang, Veli Vural Uslu, Alexandre Berr

This study shows that TOR regulates CLF translation via an upstream open reading frame, affecting stress response and developmental gene induction.
