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.

Cell biology of primary cell wall synthesis in plants [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 2021 AbstractBuilding a complex structure such as the cell wall, with many individual parts that need to be assembled correctly from distinct sources within the cell, is a well-orchestrated process. Additional complexity is required to mediate dynamic responses to environmental and developmental cues.

Techniques for RNA in vivo imaging in plants [PDF]
, 2014 Since the discovery of small RNAs and RNA silencing, RNA biology has taken a centre stage in cell and developmental biology. Small RNAs, but also mRNAs and other types of cellular and viral RNAs are processed at specific subcellular localizations.

Local auxin biosynthesis acts downstream of brassinosteroids to trigger root foraging for nitrogen
Nature Communications, 2021 Flowering plants elongate their lateral roots under mild nitrogen deficiency to enhance nutrient acquisition. Here the authors show that natural variation of this response depends on local auxin biosynthesis that acts downstream of brassinosteroids to ...

Electron tomography in plant cell biology [PDF]
Microscopy, 2018 Electron tomography (ET) approaches are based on the imaging of a biological specimen at different tilt angles by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). ET can be applied to both plastic-embedded and frozen samples. Technological advancements in TEM, direct electron detection, automated image collection, and imaging processing algorithms allow for 2-7-

Plant cell packs: a scalable platform for recombinant protein production and metabolic engineering [PDF]
, 2019 Industrial plant biotechnology applications include the production of sustainable fuels, complex metabolites and recombinant proteins, but process development can be impaired by a lack of reliable and scalable screening methods. Here, we describe a rapid

Architecture of gene regulatory networks controlling flower development in Arabidopsis thaliana
Nature Communications, 2018 Homeotic transcription factors and miRNAs promote floral organ specification. Here Chen et al. reconstruct gene regulatory networks in Arabidopsis flowers and find evidence for feed forward loops between transcription factors, miRNAs and their targets ...
