This study identifies two KNL2 genes in cowpea, characterizes their expression and subcellular localization, and examines their functional roles in centromere assembly and seed development.

The paper identifies genes and mechanisms involved in programmed chromosome elimination in Aegilops speltoides, focusing on B chromosome-encoded cohesin and centromere-related factors.

The paper analyzes duckweed clones to resolve taxonomic relationships and finds triploidy is common, with implications for classification and evolution.

This study compares holocentromere organization in two Cyperaceae subfamilies, revealing differences in repeat structure and protein distribution associated with centromere function.

This study investigates sexual reproduction in duckweed hybrids, finding that only established allotetraploids can reproduce sexually, suggesting they may drive speciation.

This study shows RSPO1 regulates enteric neural progenitor fate through differential LGR4/5/6 expression in mice and humans, affecting proliferation and neuronal differentiation.

The paper analyzes ploidy levels in seeds of Psidium cattleyanum to determine the frequency of apomixis and sexuality and their implications for endosperm formation.

The paper compares centromere organization and (epi)genome features between two species with different centromere types, finding distinct histone phosphorylation patterns and kinetochore gene mutations.

The paper introduces CRISPR-CISH, a chromogenic in situ DNA detection method that uses CRISPR/dCas9 to generate target-specific signals visible under bright-field microscopes.

The paper analyzes genomic diversity and phylogeny of Alatae Lemna species, revealing ploidy variation, hybridization, and taxonomic clarification of accessions.

The paper investigates how repetitive DNA sequences contribute to chromosomal differentiation and speciation in sugar beet and wild beets, identifying repeat emergence and loss patterns across gene pools.

This study uses genomics-informed parent selection to identify high-yielding wheat parents from genetic resources, which outperform current elite cultivars in field trials.

The paper investigates the functional roles of two paralogous CENH3 variants in cowpea centromeres, finding that CENH3.1 is essential for plant development and reproduction while CENH3.2 shows reduced functionality.

The paper shows that stringent SNP filtering does not eliminate inter-nuclear recombination evidence in dikaryotic fungi, and supports retaining low-read SNPs for nuclear genotyping.

The paper investigates the mechanism of B chromosome drive in Aegilops speltoides, identifying nondisjunction and asymmetric spindles as key factors in their accumulation.
