Taxon-specific, phased siRNAs underlie a speciation locus in monkeyflowers

Mei Liang et al.

Summary: This study reveals that a speciation locus in monkeyflowers contains an inverted repeat region that produces phased small interfering RNAs. These small RNAs target and repress a master regulator of floral carotenoid pigmentation, contributing to subsequent phenotypic diversification and pollinator-mediated speciation in the descendant species.

The bZIP transcription factor AREB3 mediates FT signalling and floral transition at the Arabidopsis shoot apical meristem

Damiano Martignago et al.

Summary: The floral transition is regulated by internal and external signals. In Arabidopsis, long-day photoperiods stimulate the production of a systemic florigenic signal that activates flowering. The transcription factors AREB3 and FD play similar roles in the transmission of the floral signal.

Diverse and mobile: eccDNA-based identification of carrot low-copy-number LTR retrotransposons active in callus cultures

Kornelia Kwolek et al.

Summary: Long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) make up a significant portion of repetitive DNA in plant genomes, including the carrot genome. Certain LTR-RT lineages have been active in carrots and have contributed to genome diversity. Low-copy-number LTR-RT subfamilies, such as those belonging to the DcAle lineage, have played a significant role in this diversity.

pixy: Unbiased estimation of nucleotide diversity and divergence in the presence of missing data

Katharine L. Korunes et al.

Summary: Population genetic analyses often use summary statistics such as pi and d(XY) to describe genetic variation patterns. However, biases can be introduced due to missing data, which can lead to underestimation of genetic diversity within and between populations. In this study, a user-friendly UNIX command line utility, pixy, is introduced to address this issue and provide unbiased estimates of pi and d(XY) regardless of the amount or form of missing data.

BRS1 mediates plant redox regulation and cold responses

Dongzhi Zhang et al.

Summary: This study reveals the role of BRS1 in plant redox regulation and stress responses. BRS1 interacts with cytosolic NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase to regulate cellular redox. Additionally, a novel alternative splice form of the BRS1 gene was identified in the over-expression mutant brs1-1D, which may have a new role in plant development and stress responses.

Alicja Macko-Podgorni et al.

Summary: MITEs are the most abundant group of Class II mobile elements in plant genomes, which may alter gene structure and expression to provide new sources of functional diversity. By mining MITEs in the carrot reference genome, different distribution patterns of MITE families were identified, revealing their role in the evolution of the carrot genome.

OptM: estimating the optimal number of migration edges on population trees using Treemix

Robert R. Fitak

Summary: The study shows that inferring the optimal number of migration events in population trees can be achieved by examining the second-order rate of change in likelihood (Δm), which performs equally well as current recommendations for Treemix. This method may be preferable in large, complex population histories.
