There can be no doubt that early land plant evolution transformed the planet but, until
recently, how and when this was achieved was unclear. Coincidence in the first appearance …

Gene body methylation (gbM) is an epigenetic mark where gene exons are methylated in
the CG context only, as opposed to CHG and CHH contexts (where H stands for A, C, or T) …

Plant immune responses are mainly activated by two types of receptor. Pattern recognition
receptors localized on the plasma membrane perceive extracellular microbial features, and …

Understanding genome organization and gene regulation requires insight into RNA
transcription, processing and modification. We adapted nanopore direct RNA sequencing to …

Despite the many approaches to study differential splicing from RNA-seq, many challenges
remain unsolved, including computing capacity and sequencing depth requirements. Here …

Background Alternative splicing (AS) is a widespread regulatory mechanism in multicellular
organisms. Numerous transcriptomic and single-gene studies in plants have investigated AS …

Plants have adapted to tolerate and survive constantly changing environmental conditions
by reprogramming gene expression The dynamics of the contribution of alternative splicing …

Plants, unlike animals, exhibit a very high degree of plasticity in their growth and
development and employ diverse strategies to cope with the variations during diurnal cycles …

Intron retention (IR) is a form of alternative splicing that has long been neglected in
mammalian systems although it has been studied for decades in non-mammalian species …

Environmental conditions are an important factor driving pathogens' evolution. Here, we
explore the effects of drought stress in plant virus evolution. We evolved turnip mosaic …
