Environmental heterogeneity may contribute to the high levels of genetic variation in glucosinolate genes found in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Gene knockouts provide valuable genetic fuel for climate adaptation in nature.

Population genomics in Arabidopsis thaliana uncovers an extensive repertoire of active transposable element families at the species level and reveals their importance as a source of rare alleles with large effects.

Genetic and biochemical analyses demonstrate that cell-surface lectin receptors can potentially function as extracellular NAD⁺-binding receptors and provide direct evidence for extracellular NAD⁺ being a bona fide endogenous signaling molecule in plants.

Hybridization barriers in Arabidopsis thaliana can be established by paternally expressed imprinted genes (PEGs) that affect cellularization of the endosperm during seed development.

Self-organization based on a feedback loop between cell geometry and division plane positioning plays a central role in the building of tissue architectures in Arabidopsis thaliana embryo through both stereotyped and variable division patterns.

A comprehensive and genome-wide description of the genomic make-up and frequency of meiotic recombination in Arabidopsis thaliana reveals regional preferences, including nucleosome-free regions, and two associated recombination motifs.

A basidiomycete yeast closely related to fungal smuts is an antagonistic microbe in the Arabidopsis leaf phyllosphere that inhibits infection by Albugo laibachii via a GH25 hydrolase with lysozyme activity.

Transitions from outcrossing to selfing, a major shift in mating systems, create a specific signature in intra-specific genetic polymorphisms, which can be used to infer the demographic history of populations and acquire valuable insights about the evolution of recombination rates.

The expression of Arabidopsis NLR immune response genes is modulated by premature transcription termination, and this has implications for understanding NLR regulation and evolutionary dynamics.
