How transposable elements are recognized and epigenetically silenced in plants?

B Liu, M Zhao - Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2023 - Elsevier
Plant genomes are littered with transposable elements (TEs). Because TEs are potentially
highly mutagenic, host organisms have evolved a set of defense mechanisms to recognize …

Evolution and function of genomic imprinting in plants

JA Rodrigues, D Zilberman - Genes & development, 2015 - genesdev.cshlp.org
Genomic imprinting, an inherently epigenetic phenomenon defined by parent of origin-
dependent gene expression, is observed in mammals and flowering plants. Genome-scale …

Polyploidy: pitfalls and paths to a paradigm

DE Soltis, CJ Visger, DB Marchant… - American journal of …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Investigators have long searched for a polyploidy paradigm—rules or principles that might

Evolution of ecological dominance of yeast species in high-sugar environments

KM Williams, P Liu, JC Fay - Evolution, 2015 - academic.oup.com
In budding yeasts, fermentation in the presence of oxygen evolved around the time of a

Imprinting in plants as a mechanism to generate seed phenotypic diversity

F Bai, AM Settles - Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 - frontiersin.org
Normal plant development requires epigenetic regulation to enforce changes in
developmental fate. Genomic imprinting is a type of epigenetic regulation in which identical …

Intertwined evolution of plant epigenomes and genomes

EJ Ritter, CE Niederhuth - Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2021 - Elsevier
DNA methylation is found across eukaryotes; however, plants have evolved patterns and
pathways of DNA methylation that are distinct from animals and fungi. DNA methylation …

Differences in effective ploidy drive genome-wide endosperm expression polarization and seed failure in wild tomato hybrids

M Roth, AM Florez-Rueda, T Städler - Genetics, 2019 - academic.oup.com
Parental imbalances in the endosperm leading to impaired development and eventual
hybrid seed failure are common causes of postzygotic isolation in flowering plants …

Conserved noncoding sequences and de novo Mutator insertion alleles are imprinted in maize

T Li, L Yin, CE Stoll, D Lisch, M Zhao - Plant Physiology, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon in which differential allele expression
occurs in a parent-of-origin-dependent manner. Imprinting in plants is tightly linked to …

Genomic imprinting was evolutionarily conserved during wheat polyploidization

G Yang, Z Liu, L Gao, K Yu, M Feng, Y Yao… - The Plant …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon that causes genes to be differentially
expressed depending on their parent of origin. To evaluate the evolutionary conservation of …

Wild tomato endosperm transcriptomes reveal common roles of genomic imprinting in both nuclear and cellular endosperm

M Roth, AM Florez‐Rueda, M Paris… - The Plant …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Genomic imprinting is a conspicuous feature of the endosperm, a triploid tissue nurturing the
embryo and synchronizing angiosperm seed development. An unknown subset of imprinted …
