Genome‐scale insights into metabolic streamlining and photosynthetic energy balance in the extremophile green alga Picocystis salinarum (Picocystophyceae, Chlorophyta)

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Picocystis salinarum is an early‐diverging chlorophyte and the sole described member of the Picocystophyceae, frequently dominating hypersaline and alkaline lakes despite extreme physicochemical constraints. To elucidate the genomic foundations of its ecological success, we generated a fully annotated, chromosome‐scale nuclear genome assembly ...

Long-lasting Corolla Cultivars in Japanese Azaleas: A Mutant AP3/DEF Homolog Identified in Traditional Azalea Cultivars from More Than 300 Years Ago

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Floral shape in higher plants typically requires genetic regulation through MADS transcription factors. In Japan, hundreds of azalea cultivars including flower shape mutations have been selected from the diversity of endogenous species and natural ...

Retrotransposon expression in the female germline.

open access: yes, 2019
(A) Relative retrotransposon expression during the germline cycle. The heatmap was produced as described previously [46] using published expression data [45, 48–50].

Comparative genomics reveals lineage‐associated structural variation and diversification in a barley fungal pathogen

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Genome‐wide copy‐number variation landscape highlights structural divergence across Puccinia hordei isolates and potentially links Cyp51 amplification to fungicide insensitivity. Summary Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia hordei, is a major barley disease worldwide.

Retrotransposon populations of Vicia species with varying genome size.

open access: yes, 2005
The (non-LTR) LINE and Ty3-gypsy-type LTR retrotransposon populations of three Vicia species that differ in genome size (Vicia faba, Vicia melanops and Vicia sativa) have been characterised.

Structural Variations Contribute to Subspeciation and Yield Heterosis in Rice

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Yield heterosis has been extensively exploited in hybrid breeding, with intersubspecific hybrids often exhibiting the most pronounced effects. However, developing elite hybrids remains a laborious and time‐consuming process. The genetic basis of heterosis has been debated for over a century, hindered largely by the lack of high‐quality genomes.

Links between human LINE-1 retrotransposons and hepatitis virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2016
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for approximately 80% of liver cancers, the third most frequent cause of cancer mortality. The most prevalent risk factors for HCC are infections by hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus. Findings suggest that hepatitis

Elimination of FRDL1, a xylem‐located citrate transporter, confers tolerance to excess unchelated ferrous iron through an exclusion mechanism in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Knock‐down of a xylem‐localized citrate transporter, FRDL1, reduces foliar iron concentrations and leaf symptoms under excess ferrous iron stress in rice. Abstract Iron (Fe) toxicity is a common agricultural problem that limits rice yield in various regions of Southeast Asia and Africa.

Hypermethylated LTR retrotransposon exhibits enhancer activity

open access: yesEpigenetics, 2017
LTR retrotransposons are repetitive DNA elements comprising ∼10% of the human genome. They are silenced by hypermethylation of cytosines in CpG dinucleotides and are considered parasitic DNA serving no useful function for the host genome.

DNA methylome responses to biotic and abiotic stress in Arabidopsis thaliana: A multi‐study analysis

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Sixteen Arabidopsis thaliana Whole‐Genome Bisulfite Sequencing datasets have been analysed to reveal common and stress‐specific DNA methylation responses. Although global methylation levels remained stable, specific DMRs varied according to the type of stress and genomics context.
