Over two thousand plant species have been modified morphologically through cultivation
and human use. Here, we review three aspects of crop domestication that are currently …

This review considers the relationship between the lifespan of an individual plant and the
longevity of its component cells, tissues and organs. It begins by defining the terms …

We present reference-quality genome assembly and annotation for the stout camphor tree
(Cinnamomum kanehirae (Laurales, Lauraceae)), the first sequenced member of the …

The plant genome is organized into chromosomes that provide the structure for the genetic
linkage groups and allow faithful replication, transcription and transmission of the hereditary …

We developed a method to tag telomeres and measure telomere length by nanopore
sequencing in the yeast S. cerevisiae. Nanopore allows long-read sequencing through the …

Telomerase adds simple-sequence repeats to the ends of linear chromosomes to counteract
the loss of end sequence inherent in conventional DNA replication. Catalytic activity for …

Telomeres are highly repetitive DNA sequences found at the ends of chromosomes that
protect the chromosomes from deterioration duringcell division. Here, using whole-genome …

Plant regeneration at the cellular and tissue level is a unique process. Similar to animals, the
stem cells in plants have properties that help stimulate and regenerate plants after injury …

Telomerase is an RNA–protein complex that extends the 3′ ends of linear chromosomes,
using a unique telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) and template in the telomerase …

A major issue in telomere research is to understand how the integrity of chromosome ends is
controlled. The fact that different types of nucleoprotein complexes have been described at …
