This study shows that ROS1-induced DNA demethylation leads to distinct epigenetic changes in chromosome arms and pericentromeres during plant immune memory formation and erasure.

This study defines the mutation spectrum in Arabidopsis thaliana centromeres, showing higher point mutation rates and homology-directed repair-driven indels.

The paper identifies a component of the augmin complex as a potential target for CIPC using transcriptomic and genetic approaches in Arabidopsis.

The paper shows that multi-generational exposure to biotic stress increases epimutation rates in Arabidopsis, mediated by ROS1, affecting low-methylation genes.

Ultra-long-read sequencing resolves Arabidopsis centromeres, revealing their genetic and epigenetic structure and dynamics.
