Functional characterization of the Csm1-like protein TITAN 9 in Arabidopsis thaliana
iScienceSummary: Kinetochores are essential for chromosome segregation in eukaryotes. An important component of kinetochores in opisthokonta is Csm1. However, its function appears to be diversified and, while Csm1 in budding yeast is a component of the monopolin

Evolution: The Flowering of Land Plant Evolution [PDF]
Current Biology, 2019 Two new studies that consider the timing of origin of angiosperms are poles apart in their estimates. However, their partisan molecular and palaeontological perspectives may hold the key to establishing a unified evolutionary timescale for flowering plants.

Marchantia polymorpha, a New Model Plant for Autophagy Studies
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Autophagy is a catabolic process for bulk and selective degradation of cytoplasmic components in the vacuole/lysosome. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, ATG genes were identified as essential genes for autophagy, and most ATG genes are highly conserved among ...

Evolution of Abscisic Acid Signaling for Stress Responses to Toxic Metals and Metalloids
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Toxic heavy metals and metalloids in agricultural ecosystems are crucial factors that limit global crop productivity and food safety. Industrial toxic heavy metals and metalloids such as cadmium, lead, and arsenic have contaminated large areas of arable ...

Genome-wide analyses supported by RNA-Seq reveal non-canonical splice sites in plant genomes
BMC Genomics, 2018 Background Most eukaryotic genes comprise exons and introns thus requiring the precise removal of introns from pre-mRNAs to enable protein biosynthesis. U2 and U12 spliceosomes catalyze this step by recognizing motifs on the transcript in order to remove

An Intrinsic Geometric Constraint on Morphological Stomatal Traits
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 A strong negative non-linear relationship exists between stomatal density (SD) and size (SS) or length (SL), which is of high importance in gas exchange and plant evolution. However, the cause of this relationship has not been clarified.
