The paper investigates sRNA precursors at the Arabidopsis self-incompatibility locus, showing they repress recessive alleles through non-canonical pathways and generate diverse sRNA molecules.

The paper models interlocus gene conversion in tandem paralogues using Arabidopsis halleri HMA4 genes to show mosaic divergence patterns and the impact of IGC on gene copy diversity.

This study assesses the probiotic potential of Geobacillus by analyzing its genomic features, revealing safety traits and absence of virulence factors.

This study shows that genetic incompatibilities in pollen cause segregation distortion in Arabidopsis species and populations, increasing with genetic distance and contributing to reproductive isolation.

This study uses population genomics to analyze climate adaptation and demographic history in Japanese Arabidopsis halleri, revealing genetic differentiation and selection signatures linked to climate variables.

This study identifies an ATPase domain in PLRV capsid protein critical for genome packaging and demonstrates RNAi-mediated suppression of this domain as a method to generate PLRV-resistant potato plants.
