This study uses machine learning to guide directed evolution of plant Rubisco, identifying variants with improved catalytic efficiency and carboxylation rates.

The paper designs a new T-DNA vector for Arabidopsis thaliana that enables predictable, single-copy transgene integration with reduced genome instability and silencing.

This study creates a transcriptional atlas of early Arabidopsis seed development, identifying gene expression patterns and mechanisms of inter-tissue coordination.

This paper describes a method to generate heritable structural variation in Arabidopsis thaliana using etoposide, leading to altered phenotypes and identified deletions and inversions.

This study examines DNA methylation and genetic imprinting in water lily endosperm, finding maternally-expressed imprinted genes and differential DNA methylation are ancestral traits.

The paper shows ROS1 prevents hypermethylation of paternally-inherited alleles in Arabidopsis endosperm, promoting epigenetic symmetry between genomes.

This study shows that CRWN nuclear lamina components in Arabidopsis are essential for maintaining H3K27me3 chromatin marks, which are critical for normal gametophyte development and seed viability.
