Understanding which reproductive barriers contribute to speciation is essential to
understanding the diversity of life on earth. Several contemporary examples of strong hybrid …

Based on prior knowledge and with the support of new methodology, solid progress in the
understanding of seed life has taken place over the few last years. This update reflects …

Members of the TaCKX gene family (GFMs) encode the cytokinin oxygenase/
dehydrogenase enzyme (CKX), which irreversibly degrades cytokinins in the organs of …

Reproductive strategies play a major role in plant speciation. Notably, transitions from
outcrossing to selfing may lead to relaxed sexual selection and parental conflict. Shifts in …

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 …

Transposable elements (TEs) and their reverse complementary sequence pairs (RCPs) are
enriched around loci that produce circular RNAs (circRNAs) in plants. However, the function …

Genomic imprinting results in the biased expression of alleles depending on if the allele was
inherited from the mother or the father. Despite the prevalence of sexual reproduction across …

The evolution and diversification of proteins capable of remodeling domains has been
critical for transcriptional reprogramming during cell fate determination in multicellular …

Modern ideas about the role of epigenetic systems in the regulation of gene expression
allow us to understand the mechanisms of vital activities in plants, such as genomic …

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon that differentiates maternal and paternal
copies of genes in the genome and causes monoallelic expression depending on parental …
