This study identifies MORC and MOM1 as spatial regulators of RNA Polymerase V chromatin positioning, which influences DNA methylation landscapes in plants.

The paper identifies Arabidopsis REM transcription factors and GDE1 as key regulators of DNA methylation by recruiting RNA Polymerase IV to generate 24nt-siRNAs that direct methylation to specific genomic loci.

This paper engineers a plant virus to deliver a compact CRISPR-Cas system for transgene-free germline editing in Arabidopsis.

This study shows that MORC3 is essential for T cell development in the thymus, as its loss causes developmental arrest and altered chromatin accessibility in DN1 cells.

This study shows that transposable elements (TEs) contribute to population divergence in Magnaporthe oryzae by regulating gene expression in different rice subspecies.

The paper identifies MBD9 as an interacting protein of the Arabidopsis SWR1-C complex required for H2A.Z deposition at specific gene loci.

The paper compares the pathogenicity-related gene repertoires between Pyricularia oryzae and Pyricularia penniseti, revealing significant genomic differences.
