Transposable elements: Drivers of regulatory innovation and adaptation in plants

Transposable elements (TEs) constitute a major fraction of eukaryotic genomes and represent one of the most abundant classes of repetitive sequences in plants. Recent advances in sequencing technologies, together with the increasing availability of telomere-to-telomere and pan-ge...

Cold priming reshapes DNA methylation and transcriptional memory in Arabidopsis thaliana

Abstract Stress priming is a critical adaptive mechanism that enables plants to enhance responses to recurring environmental stresses. Although transcriptomic changes associated with cold stress priming have been reported, the underlying epigenetic mechanisms remain largely unkno...
