New OA Brief Comm: "Metabolically robust ratiometric autoluminescent reporters" rdcu.be/MdNALGQ53dGa
In glowing plants, monitoring colour shifts instead of changes in luminescence intensity enables quantitative measurements of physiology despite changes in metabolic activity.
New Resource: "Chromosome-level phylogenomics and genome evolution of the grape family" rdcu.be/25RCaLYxvmia
Family-wide phylogenomics sheds light on evolution of grapevine; role of Helitron transposons in the expansion and regulation of NLR resistance genes in grapevines.
New Article: "Rewriting wheat karyotypes through centromere-targeted chromosome engineering" rdcu.be/M5dMQ9xEboMa
Centromere editing in wheat drives extensive, heritable rearrangements across multiple chromosomes; for engineering complex karyotypes in polyploid crops.
New OA Article: "Reconstructing spore evolution recalibrates the timescale of land plant diversification" rdcu.be/ZqJutaiDfFLa
This study models the evolution of spore characteristics in living land plants to reinterpret their spore-dominated early fossil record.
