DNA Topoisomerase 1α Promotes Transcriptional Silencing of Transposable Elements through DNA Methylation and Histone Lysine 9 Dimethylation in Arabidopsis [PDF]
, 2014 RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) and histone H3K9 dimethylation (H3K9me2) are related transcriptional silencing mechanisms that target transposable elements (TEs) and repeats to maintain genome stability in plants.

Detection of leaf structures in close-range hyperspectral images using morphological fusion
Geo-spatial Information Science, 2017 Close-range hyperspectral images are a promising source of information in plant biology, in particular, for in vivo study of physiological changes. In this study, we investigate how data fusion can improve the detection of leaf elements by combining ...

Allometric Trajectories and \u201cStress\u201d: A Quantitative Approach [PDF]
, 2016 The term \u201cstress\u201d is an important but vague term in plant biology. We show situations in which thinking in terms of \u201cstress\u201d is profitably replaced by quantifying distance from functionally optimal scaling relationships between plant ...
