This study shows that long-day light regimes induce secondary dormancy in Aethionema arabicum seeds, delaying germination to avoid risky summer conditions.

The paper investigates how parental and germination temperatures affect molecular and morphological responses in dimorphic diaspores of Aethionema arabicum, identifying gene expression and hormonal differences that regulate dormancy and germination.

This study identifies three lncRNAs in Arabidopsis thaliana that are upregulated by DNA damage and whose deletion impairs stress recovery.

This study identifies a CENH3 mutation that restores fertility in SMG7-deficient Arabidopsis by promoting meiotic exit and reducing aberrant divisions.

The paper investigates paramutation in Arabidopsis, showing that small RNAs, temperature, and allele structure influence its occurrence and stability in polyploid plants.

The paper analyzes gene expression and DNA methylation in Arabidopsis shoot stem cells, revealing transient transposon activation and epigenetic reprogramming during their transition to reproductive lineage.
