The paper analyzes heat-induced transcription of retrotransposons in three Arabidopsis thaliana accessions, identifying two heat-responsive families and their regulatory mechanisms.

This study investigates the polygenic architecture of flowering time in Brachypodium distachyon, linking genetic variation to environmental factors and vernalization requirements.

The paper investigates the factors influencing LTR-RT mobility in Brachypodium distachyon, finding that environmental stress has limited effects while RNA polymerase IV loss significantly increases transposon activity.
