Light-responsive changes in alternative splicing and development are modulated by a subgroup of serine/arginine-rich splicing regulators in Arabidopsis tha

We would like to invite you to join the PhD Summer School that has an attractive program with many expert speakers in the field of environmental signaling in plants. In addition to the invited speaker...

Processing bodies (P-bodies) are conserved ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules central to RNA metabolism across eukaryotes. Although the mechanisms underlying their assembly are well understood, the path...

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) regulate many processes related to RNA biogenesis, localization, half-life and function. Here, we present a protocol for the en masse isolation of RBPs cross-linked to RNA ...

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) can modulate gene expression at the mRNA level, providing the ability to tackle conventionally undruggable targets and usher in an era of personalized medicine. A key...

Plastids can sense environmental stress and improve whole plant adaptation through retrograde communication to the nucleus. Recent studies have advanced our understanding of integrated canonical and ...

Alternative splicing is essential for plants, enabling a single gene to produce multiple transcript variants to boost functional diversity and fine-tune responses to environmental and developmental ...

Plant viruses cause symptoms with devastating consequences for agriculture. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying symptom development in viral …

The light-induced change from skoto- to photomorphogenesis is a key switch in plant development that requires global transcriptome reprogramming. Earlier studies in Arabidopsis thaliana and other plan...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

Seed priming is a pre-sowing treatment that enables more efficient and uniform seed germination; however, it negatively affects seed longevity. In this work, the mRNA dynamics underlying a hydroprim...
