Report: Chromothripsis as an on-target consequence of CRISPR–Cas9 genome editing
Abstract: Genome editing has therapeutic potential for treating genetic diseases and cancer. However, the currently most practicable approaches rely on the generation of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), which can give...
Report: Integrative inference of transcriptional networks in Arabidopsis yields novel ROS signalling regulators
Abstract: Gene regulation is a dynamic process in which transcription factors (TFs) play an important role in controlling spatiotemporal gene expression. To enhance our global understanding of regulatory interactions in...
Report: A high-quality genome assembly highlights rye genomic characteristics and agronomically important genes
Abstract: Rye is a valuable food and forage crop, an important genetic resource for wheat and triticale improvement and an indispensable material for efficient comparative genomic studies in grasses. Here,...
Report: Unidirectional movement of small RNAs from shoots to roots in interspecific heterograf
Abstract: Long-distance RNA movement is important for plant growth and environmental responses; however, the extent to which RNAs move between distant tissues, their relative magnitude and functional importance remain to...
Report: G-protein βγ subunits determine grain size through interaction with MADS-domain transcription factors in rice
Abstract: The simultaneous improvement of grain quality and yield of cereal crops is a major challenge for modern agriculture. Here we show that a rice grain yield quantitative trait locus...
Report: Molecular Networks of Seed Size Control in Plants
Abstract: The size of seeds affects not only evolutionary fitness but also grain yield of crops. Understanding the mechanisms controlling seed size has become an important research field in plant...
Report: Identification of Plant Enhancers and Their Constituent Elements by STARR-seq in Tobacco Leaves
Abstract: Genetic engineering of cis-regulatory elements in crop plants is a promising strategy to ensure food security. However, such engineering is currently hindered by our limited knowledge of plant cis-regulatory...
Report: Epigenetic reprogramming rewires transcription during the alternation of generations in Arabidopsis
Abstract: Alternation between morphologically distinct haploid and diploid life forms is a defining feature of most plant and algal life cycles, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms that govern these transitions...
Report: Chromatin Accessibility Dynamics and a Hierarchical Transcriptional Regulatory Network Structure for Plant Somatic Embryogenesis
Abstract: Plant somatic embryogenesis refers to a phenomenon where embryos develop from somatic cells in the absence of fertilization. Previous studies have revealed that the phytohormone auxin plays a crucial...
