Mutant-based model of two independent pathways for carotenoid-mediated chloroplast biogenesis in Arabidopsis embryos [PDF]
, 2019 Chloroplasts are essential for autonomous plant growth, and their biogenesis is a complex process requiring both plastid and nuclear genome. One of the essential factors required for chloroplast biogenesis are carotenoids.

Phylogenomic insights into the origin of the Norton grape
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Challenges in viticulture such as disease resistance have renewed interest in underutilized cultivars. The Norton grape, one of the earliest popular North American grape cultivars, holds the potential to produce exceptional wine while being resistant to pests and disease. Yet, the ancestry of the Norton grape is controversial.

Chloroplast genome diversity and phylogenetic insights of Saccharum spontaneum across Southeast Asia
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change and threats to global food security have increased the urgency of conserving genetic resources in key crops like sugarcane. In this study, we analyzed the chloroplast genomes of wild sugarcane to assess their genetic diversity and population structure. We found a high level of diversity, regardless of geographic location, and patterns of

Daytime temperature is sensed by phytochrome B in Arabidopsis through a transcriptional activator HEMERA. [PDF]
, 2019 Ambient temperature sensing by phytochrome B (PHYB) in Arabidopsis is thought to operate mainly at night. Here we show that PHYB plays an equally critical role in temperature sensing during the daytime.

A workflow for practical training in plant genomics using Oxford Nanopore long‐read sequencing
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Advances in DNA sequencing technologies are revolutionising all areas of plant genomic research. In response to the current deficit of educational resources in modern plant genomic methods, we have developed a comprehensive genomics training course for sequencing and analysing non‐model plant species.
