Proper orchestration of the thousands of biochemical processes that are essential to the life
of every cell requires highly organized cellular compartmentalization of dedicated …

Genetic engineering and traditional plant breeding, which harnesses the natural genetic
variation that arises during meiosis, will have key roles to improve crop varieties and thus …

In Arabidopsis thaliana, the METTL3 homolog, mRNA adenosine methylase (MTA)
introduces N 6-methyladenosine (m6A) into various coding and noncoding RNAs of the …

The production of balanced fertile haploid gametes requires the faithful separation of paired
(synapsed) chromosomes toward the end of meiotic prophase I (desynapsis). This involves …

Gene regulation ensures that the appropriate genes are expressed at the proper time.
Nuclear retention of incompletely spliced or mature mRNAs is emerging as a novel …

Small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) play a crucial role in pre-mRNA splicing in all
eukaryotic cells. In contrast to the relatively broad knowledge on snRNP assembly within the …

Recent studies show a crucial role of post-transcriptional processes in the regulation of gene
expression. Our research has shown that mRNA retention in the nucleus plays a significant …

Nucleolar dominance is an epigenetic phenomenon that occurs in some plant and animal
allopolyploids and hybrids, whereby only one ancestral set of 35S rRNA genes retains the …

In recent years, research has increasingly focused on the key role of post‐transcriptional
regulation of messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) function and turnover. As a result of the …

Pollen characteristics are very important for Iris interspecific hybridisation. In this study, the
pollen viability and male meiosis were studied in yellow-flowered Iris dichotoma (Y2), I …
