Multiple redundant mechanisms account for the majority of gene silencing downstream of DNA methylation

The paper shows that multiple redundant mechanisms account for most gene silencing downstream of DNA methylation, with loss of these pathways causing widespread derepression and genomic changes.

Long-read detection of transposable element mobilization in the soma of hypomethylated Arabidopsis thaliana individuals

This study uses long-read sequencing to detect somatic transposable element mobilization in hypomethylated Arabidopsis thaliana mutants, revealing new mobile elements and variable activity within TE families.

SPOROCYTELESS/NOZZLE acts together with MADS-domain transcription factors to regulate an auxin-dependent network controlling the Megaspore Mother Cell development

This study identifies SPL/NZZ's interaction with MADS-domain transcription factors to regulate an auxin-dependent network controlling Megaspore Mother Cell development.

The structure of mitochondrial genomes is associated with geography in Arabidopsis thaliana

This study analyzes mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes of Arabidopsis thaliana to show that large repeats correlate with geography and phenotypes, and identify novel ORFs potentially from horizontal gene transfer.

The 1001G+ project: A curated collection of Arabidopsis thaliana long-read genome assemblies to advance plant research

The paper curates and presents a collection of long-read genome assemblies for Arabidopsis thaliana accessions to enhance plant genome research.

Atlas of telomeric repeat diversity in Arabidopsis thaliana

The paper characterizes telomeric repeat diversity in 49 Arabidopsis thaliana accessions, revealing repeat unit types, evolutionary processes, and haplotype patterns.

Transposon dynamics in the emerging oilseed crop Thlaspi arvense

The paper examines transposon dynamics in Thlaspi arvense, identifying TE polymorphisms linked to genetic diversity and adaptation across populations.
