Plasticity in centromere organization: Holocentromeres can consist of merely a few megabase-sized satellite arrays

The paper analyzes the holocentromere organization in Chionographis japonica, revealing that its holocentromeres consist of few, large satellite arrays and differ from other holocentric species.

Genome-wide identification of putative disease resistance genes (R genes) in carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) by homology-based gene prediction

This study identifies 320 putative R genes in carrot using homology-based prediction, including 72 new gene models, and classifies them into NLR, RLP, KIN, and RLK clades.

Insights from CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing of centromeric histone H3 (CENH3) in carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus)

This paper explores CRISPR/Cas9-mediated editing of CENH3 in carrot to induce haploidy, identifies a second CENH3 locus, and evaluates mutant constructs for potential haploid inducer use.

Application of aptamers improves CRISPR-based live imaging of plant telomeres

This paper improves CRISPR-based live imaging of plant telomeres using aptamers, showing better labeling quality in transiently transformed plants but limitations in stable transformations.
