Journal ArticleDOI

Global effects of the small RNA biogenesis machinery on the Arabidopsis thaliana transcriptome

TL;DR: The results suggest that the DCL1 is not only involved in miRNA action but also contributes to silencing of a subset of transposons, apparently through an effect on DNA methylation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mating system shifts and transposable element evolution in the plant genus Capsella

TL;DR: The results suggest that the evolution of selfing may have different effects on TE evolution on a short and on a long timescale, and cross-species comparisons of transposon abundance are sensitive to reference genome bias, and efforts to control for this bias are key when making comparisons across species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutant Allele-Specific Uncoupling of PENETRATION3 Functions Reveals Engagement of the ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter in Distinct Tryptophan Metabolic Pathways

TL;DR: The isolation of a pen3 allele, designated pen3-5, that encodes a dysfunctional protein that accumulates in planta like wild-type PEN3 is described, and it is proposed that a precursor of 4OGlcI3F is the PEN2 myrosinase-dependent substrate in extracellular pathogen defense.
Journal ArticleDOI

A zinc knuckle protein that negatively controls morning-specific growth in Arabidopsis thaliana

TL;DR: It is proposed that TZP acts downstream of the circadian clock and photoreceptor signaling pathways to directly control genes responsible for growth, and provides new insight into how daily synchronization of growth pathways plays a critical role in growth regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

RNA 3′ processing functions of Arabidopsis FCA and FPA limit intergenic transcription

TL;DR: The data suggest that FCA and FPA play important roles in the A. thaliana genome in RNA 3′ processing and transcription termination, thus limiting intergenic transcription.
