The flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana is a dicot model organism for research in many
aspects of plant biology. A comprehensive annotation of its genome paves the way for …

Plant transcriptomes encompass a large number of functional non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs),
only some of which have protein-coding capacity. Since their initial discovery, ncRNAs have …

In plants, thousands of genes are associated with antisense transcription, which often
produces noncoding RNAs. Although widespread, sense–antisense pairs have been …

Recent research on long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) has expanded our understanding of
gene transcription regulation and the generation of cellular complexity. Depending on their …

In eukaryotes, mechanisms such as alternative splicing (AS) and alternative translation
initiation (ATI) contribute to organismal protein diversity. Specifically, splicing factors play …

High-throughput RNA sequencing has revealed more pervasive transcription of the human
genome than previously anticipated. However, the extent of natural antisense …

Stem cells are defined by their ability to self-renew and produce daughter cells that
proliferate and mature. These maturing cells transition from a proliferative state to a terminal …

Natural antisense long noncoding RNA s (lnc RNA s) are widespread in many organisms.
However, their biological functions remain largely unknown, particularly in plants. We report …

Understanding plant gene promoter architecture has long been a challenge due to the lack
of relevant large-scale data sets and analysis methods. Here, we present a publicly …

Root branching in plants relies on the de novo formation of lateral roots. These are initiated
from founder cells, triggering new formative divisions that generate lateral root primordia …
