This seminar introduces Professor Tobias Baskin’s writing philosophy in the form of a set of guidelines for writing clearly that is based on how people read. In…
Identifying an Unexpected Player in DNA Methylation
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In a NutshellChoudry et al. show that the mRNA export protein ALY1 enables genome-wide RNA-directed DNA methylation, transposon repression and transgene silencing though the efficient export of the AGO6 mRNA. Plant Cell https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.18.00624
By Sarah Choudury
Background: Transposons, sometimes…
The AREB1-ADA2b-GCN5 Complex Regulates Gene Expression during Drought Stress
Research, The Plant Cell: In BriefAbiotic stresses constitute a global threat to agricultural crop production and natural ecosystems. One of the most prominent abiotic stresses is drought, which dramatically alters plant physiology and morphology. Studies in model organisms have shed light into how plants respond to drought stress, including…
Blocking the Guards: The ALY1 Nuclear Export Protein Is Required for DNA Methylation Machinery to Function
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefPlants constantly face the threat of attack from many directions. Organisms like bacteria, viruses, and fungi must be blocked from entering a plant’s cells, or quickly targeted for destruction once inside. Within the plant genome itself, transposable elements lie in wait for reactivation. In addition,…
