This study uses a virus vector to overexpress FT genes in tomato, significantly speeding up flowering and increasing fruit yield without altering plant morphology.

The paper shows that endogenous virus-derived small RNAs regulate gene expression in tomato hybrids after genome shock.

The paper generates a comprehensively annotated sRNA locus map for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii using machine learning, revealing both shared and distinct features compared to higher plants and animals.

The paper identifies frequent paramutation-like features in natural epialleles of tomato using DNA methylation analysis of introgression lines.

The paper shows that in Chlamydomonas, miRNAs mainly destabilize mRNAs, with target sites in coding regions, differing from metazoan systems.
