Cytokinin acts as a systemic signal coordinating reproductive effort in Arabidopsis

This study shows cytokinin coordinates reproductive effort with plant nutrient status by regulating inflorescence meristem activity in Arabidopsis.

Heat stress impairs centromere structure and segregation of meiotic chromosomes in Arabidopsis

This study shows heat stress impairs centromere structure and meiotic chromosome segregation in Arabidopsis, leading to reduced fertility and meiotic defects.

Heat stress induces unreduced male gamete formation by targeting meiocyte translation

The paper identifies TAM's role in maintaining meiotic translation under heat stress, preventing premature meiotic exit and promoting unreduced gamete formation in Arabidopsis.

A complex role of Arabidopsis CDKD;3 in meiotic progression and cytokinesis

This study identifies CDKD;3 as a gene that suppresses meiotic defects in smg7 mutants by promoting meiotic exit and enabling cytokinesis in Arabidopsis.

High temperature increases centromere-mediated genome elimination frequency in Arabidopsis deficient in cenH3 or its assembly factor KNL2

The paper shows that high temperature increases genome elimination in Arabidopsis mutants lacking cenH3 or its assembly factor KNL2, enhancing haploid induction efficiency.

Transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of young genes in plants

This study investigates how transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms regulate young genes in plants, finding that they are expressed at low levels and subject to additional decay processes.

B1-type cyclins control microtubule organization during cell division in Arabidopsis

This study identifies B1-type cyclins' role in microtubule organization during Arabidopsis cell division, showing their importance in mitotic networks and interactions with GIP1.

Imaging plant germline differentiation within Arabidopsis flower by light sheet microscopy

The paper develops a live imaging method using light sheet microscopy to study germline differentiation in Arabidopsis flowers, revealing new insights into meiosis and pollen development.

Molecular characterization of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii telomeres and telomerase mutants

This study characterizes telomeres and telomerase mutants in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, showing non-degenerate telomeric repeats, stable length under growth conditions, and telomerase necessity for telomere maintenance.
