Rapid evolution of post-transcriptionally regulated RESTORER OF FERTILITY-LIKE genes in the genus Arabidopsis

Creator:

Jogdeo, Sanjuro

Abstract:

The Pentatricopeptide Repeat (PPR) gene family produces RNA-binding proteins that target organellar transcripts. The PPR family is expanded in land plants, with nearly 450 genes identified in Arabidopsis thaliana. In plants with a Cytoplasmic Male Sterility (CMS) phenotype, members of the PPR family can act as a RESTORER OF FERTILITY...

Origins and evolution of plant microRNA genes

Creator:

Fahlgren, Noah

Abstract:

Eukaryotic small RNA (~20-30 nucleotides) are diverse regulatory molecules that repress gene expression at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels, defend hosts against invading viruses and defend genomes against selfish DNA elements. Small RNA populations are studied by high-throughput sequencing of the total small RNA fraction isolated from cells, however, the...
