The paper shows GH1-HMGA proteins restrict RdDM at euchromatic TEs by limiting siRNA and competing with H1 for chromatin binding.

This study shows that transposases can act as transcriptional regulators and evolved into transcription factors through loss of catalytic activity.

This study identifies 200,000 new transposable element insertions in Arabidopsis thaliana, revealing integration biases and adaptive potential of somatic transposition.

The paper identifies centromeres as a source of telomeric sequences in Arabidopsis, showing ITR domains arise from centromeres through amplification and adopt a distinct chromatin state.

The paper introduces a simple, rapid, and cost-effective subcellular fractionation protocol for isolating nuclear and cytoplasmic components from plant tissues without protoplastization.

This study examines how the polar diatom Fragilariopsis cylindrus regulates its epigenome during the polar night, showing stable repression of transposable elements through H3K27me3 and DNA methylation.

This paper introduces a method to detect transposable element insertions with high sensitivity and shows it can identify insertions at low frequencies in plant populations.

The paper identifies a retrotransposon insertion in Arabidopsis FLC that increases environmental sensitivity, enabling an adaptive response to herbicide through epigenetic modulation.

The paper shows that transposable elements can transmit epigenetic changes across generations in Arabidopsis thaliana, often near stress-responsive genes, and these changes can affect gene expression and be subject to selection.

This paper introduces SAM-seq, a long-read sequencing method to simultaneously profile chromatin accessibility and DNA methylation in plants, revealing epigenetic crosstalk and cellular heterogeneity.

The paper constructs a comprehensive atlas of transposable element transcripts and their encoded products in Arabidopsis thaliana, revealing their functional roles and regulatory networks.

The paper presents a bioinformatic framework for detecting transposable element insertion polymorphisms using short-read sequencing data, showing high specificity and sensitivity in Arabidopsis thaliana genomes.

The paper shows that reducing PRC2 activity in Arabidopsis suppresses TE activation in ddm1 mutants, challenging the idea that PRC2 compensates for DNA hypomethylation.

The paper shows that TE over-accumulation in autopolyploids is due to relaxed purifying selection and that some TE variants near stress response genes may aid local adaptation.

The paper identifies natural epigenetic variation linked to partial resistance to clubroot in Arabidopsis through QTL analysis and methylation studies.

The paper identifies histone H2A.Z-driven integration bias of transposable elements towards environmentally responsive genes in Arabidopsis thaliana.

This study examines if mild drought induces heritable phenotypic or DNA methylation changes in Arabidopsis, finding no transgenerational effects.
