"Post-transcriptional gene regulation by the m6A-mRNA/YTHDF axis shapes plant architecture” N6-methyladenosine (m6A) in mRNA is a key element of post-transcriptional gene regulation in eukaryotes, necessary for embryonic and post-embryonic development in…

Deciphering the effect of temperature on circadian clock performance in trees Circadian clock increases organism's fitness by providing a mechanism to anticipate events such as sunrise and adjust their transcriptional…

Identification of host targets of Fusarium effector proteins provides insight in disease resistance and susceptibility. Vascular wilt diseases are a major problem in agriculture, Fusarium oxysporum being an infamous example…

"Small peptides,  a game-changing strategy for synthetic biology": Peptide-based drugs have gained a wide range of applications in biotechnology, making necessary to explore new routes that go beyond traditional peptide…

"Exploring the chromatin-based regulation of enhancer promoter contact and its impact on gene expression in tomato" Epigenetic regulations have become a major focus of research activity in the current post-genomics…

“Self or non-self”: Pollen rejection in Nicotiana In Solanaceae, self-incompatibility (SI) is under the S-locus control, which encodes both the female (S-RNase) and male determinants (a suite of SLF proteins). However,…

Title: Epigenetic mechanisms controlling plant developmental transitions As sessile organisms, plants need to align their development to specific external cues from the different seasons. To be capable of inferring seasonal…

"Novelties in Dicer-like proteins as antiviral proteins in plants" Viruses are highly specialized to infect a limited range of host plants, leading in extreme cases to the full invasion of…
