Convergent evolution of plant prickles is drivenby repeated gene co-option over deep time

J. W. Satterlee, D. Alonso, P. Gramazio, K. M. Jenike, J. He, A. Arrones, G. Villanueva, M. Plazas, S. Ramakrishnan, M. Benoit, I. Gentile, A. Hendelman, H. Shohat, B. Fitzgerald, G. M. Robitaille, , Z. B. Lippman

The paper investigates convergent evolution of plant prickles, finding that mutations in a cytokinin gene repeatedly cause prickle loss across species.

Epigenetic bases of grafting-induced vigour in eggplant

E. Cerruti, C. Gisbert, H.-G. Drost, D. Valentino, E. Portis, L. Barchi, J. Prohens, S. Lanteri, C. Comino, M. Catoni

This study investigates epigenetic changes in eggplant scions grafted onto rootstocks, finding hypomethylation in CHH context linked to vigour and retrotransposon down-regulation.
