Journal ArticleDOI
Target mimicry provides a new mechanism for regulation of microRNA activity
José Manuel Franco-Zorrilla,Adrian Valli,Marco Todesco,I. Mateos,María Isabel Puga,Ignacio Rubio-Somoza,Antonio Leyva,Detlef Weigel,Juan Antonio García,Javier Paz-Ares +9 more
TL;DR: Target mimicry can be generalized beyond the control of Pi homeostasis, as demonstrated using artificial target mimics and coined to define this mechanism of inhibition of miRNA activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-wide association study of 107 phenotypes in Arabidopsis thaliana inbred lines
Susanna Atwell,Yu S. Huang,Bjarni J. Vilhjálmsson,Glenda Willems,Matthew W. Horton,Yan Li,Dazhe Meng,Alexander Platt,Aaron M. Tarone,Tina T. Hu,Rong Jiang,N.

Kniskern,Jonathan D. G. Jones,Todd P. Michael,Adnane Nemri,Fabrice Roux,Fabrice Roux,David E. Salt,Chunlao Tang,Marco Todesco,M. Brian Traw,Detlef Weigel,Paul Marjoram,Justin O. Borevitz,Joy Bergelson,Magnus Nordborg +37 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates the feasibility of GWA studies in A. thaliana and suggests that the approach will be appropriate for many other organisms, particularly when inbred lines are available.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hybridization and extinction.
Marco Todesco,Mariana A. Pascual,Gregory L. Owens,Katherine L. Ostevik,Brook T. Moyers,Brook T. Moyers,Sariel Hübner,Sylvia M. Heredia,Min A. Hahn,Celine Caseys,Dan G. Bock,Loren H. Rieseberg,Loren H. Rieseberg +12 more
TL;DR: It is found that while extinction risk is highly situation dependent, genetic swamping is much more frequent than demographic swamping, and it is concluded that halting the introduction of hybridization‐prone exotics and restoring mature and diverse habitats that are resistant to hybrid establishment should be management priorities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural allelic variation underlying a major fitness trade-off in Arabidopsis thaliana
Marco Todesco,Sureshkumar Balasubramanian,Sureshkumar Balasubramanian,Tina T. Hu,Tina T. Hu,M. Brian Traw,Matthew W. Horton,Petra Epple,Christine Kuhns,Christine Kuhns,Sridevi Sureshkumar,Sridevi Sureshkumar,Christopher J. Schwartz,Christopher J. Schwartz,Christa Lanz,Roosa A. E. Laitinen,Yu S. Huang,Joanne Chory,Volker Lipka,Volker Lipka,Justin O. Borevitz,Jeffery L. Dangl,Joy Bergelson,Magnus Nordborg,Magnus Nordborg,Detlef Weigel +25 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that allelic diversity at a single locus, ACCELERATED CELL DEATH 6 (ACD6), underpins marked pleiotropic differences in both vegetative growth and resistance to microbial infection and herbivory among natural Arabidopsis thaliana strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
A collection of target mimics for comprehensive analysis of microRNA function in Arabidopsis thaliana.
TL;DR: Phenotypes of plants expressing target mimics directed against miRNAs involved in development were in several cases consistent with previous reports on plants expressing miRNA–resistant forms of individual target genes, indicating that a limited number of targets mediates most effects of these miRN as well as insight into modes of miRNA action.
