Histone H3 lysine 4 methylation recruits DNA demethylases to enforce gene expression in Arabidopsis
Patterning of DNA methylation in eukaryotic genomes is controlled by de novo methylation, maintenance mechanisms and demethylation pathways. In …
Conserved immunomodulation and variation in host association by Xanthomonadales commensals in Arabidopsis root microbiota
Suppression of chronic Arabidopsis immune responses is a widespread but typically strain-specific trait across the major bacterial lineages …
MicroRNA control of stem cell reconstitution and growth in root regeneration
Plants display a remarkable regeneration capacity, which allows them to replace damaged or lost cells, tissues and organs, and thus recover from a …
Ferredoxin-mediated mechanism for efficient nitrogen utilization in maize
Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient for plant development and, ultimately, yield. Identifying the genetic components and mechanisms underlyi…
Origin and de novo domestication of sweet orange
Sweet orange is cultivated worldwide but suffers from various devastating diseases because of its monogenetic background. The elucidation of the or…
