Douglas E. Soltis,Pamela S. Soltis,Mark W. Chase,Mark E. Mort,Dirk C. Albach,Michael J. Zanis,Vincent Savolainen,William H. Hahn,Sara B. Hoot,Michael F. Fay,Michael J. Axtell,Susan M. Swensen,Linda M. Prince,W. John Kress,Kevin C. Nixon,James S. Farris +15 more
TL;DR: A phylogenetic analysis of a combined data set for 560 angiosperms and seven outgroups based on three genes, 18S rDNA, rbcL, and atpB representing a total of 4733 bp is presented, resulting in the most highly resolved and strongly supported topology yet obtained for angiosPerms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blake C. Meyers,Michael J. Axtell,Bonnie Bartel,David P. Bartel,David C. Baulcombe,John L. Bowman,Xiaofeng Cao,James C. Carrington,Xuemei Chen,Pamela J. Green,Sam Griffiths-Jones,Steven E. Jacobsen,Allison C. Mallory,Robert A. Martienssen,R. Scott Poethig,Yijun Qi,Hervé Vaucheret,Olivier Voinnet,Yuichiro Watanabe,Detlef Weigel,Jian-Kang Zhu +20 more
TL;DR: The specific criteria required for the annotation of plant miRNAs are updated, including experimental and computational data, as well as refinements to standard nomenclature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-Scale Sequencing Reveals 21U-RNAs and Additional MicroRNAs and Endogenous siRNAs in C. elegans
J. Graham Ruby,Calvin H. Jan,Christopher M. Player,Michael J. Axtell,William Lee,Chad Nusbaum,Hui Ge,David P. Bartel +7 more
TL;DR: Another 18 microRNA (miRNA) genes were identified, thereby extending to 112 the authors' tally of confidently identified miRNA genes in C. elegans, and a third class of nematode small RNAs, called 21U-RNAs, was discovered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Initiation of RPS2-Specified Disease Resistance in Arabidopsis Is Coupled to the AvrRpt2-Directed Elimination of RIN4
TL;DR: It is suggested that RPS2 initiates signaling based upon perception of RIN4 disappearance rather than direct recognition of AvrRpt2, and that this activity can be achieved independent of an R PS2-mediated signaling pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Classification and Comparison of Small RNAs from Plants
TL;DR: Comparisons between the different classes of plant small RNAs help to illuminate key goals for future research.
