This paper presents genome and epigenome analyses of Lemnaceae plants, identifying genes related to clonal reproduction and CO2 sequestration, and highlights their potential for biotechnology.

The paper identifies Teosinte Pollen Drive, an RNAi-based gene drive in maize-teosinte hybrids, and shows its role in maize domestication and diversification through linked genetic elements.

This study demonstrates that trisomy of chromosome 1q is essential for malignant growth in cancers and shows that TP53 mutations are mutually exclusive with 1q aneuploidy.

This study analyzes the genome and time-of-day transcriptome of Wolffia australiana to link its extreme morphological minimization with reduced circadian regulation and continuous growth.

Loss of Polymerase IV function in Capsella rubella causes microspore arrest, revealing an important functional role of Polymerase IV during pollen development.

This study shows that loss of CG methylation in Marchantia polymorpha disrupts cell division and reveals unique non-CG methylation regulatory mechanisms in basal land plants.

The paper shows that miR845 targets transposon PBS in Arabidopsis pollen, triggering small RNA accumulation that mediates hybridization barriers and endosperm balance.
