Article:  DNA methylation signatures of duplicate gene evolution in angiosperms Journal: Plant Physiology Year: 2023 Guest:  Sunil Kenchanmane Raju Host:  Arif Ashraf Abstract Gene duplication is a source of evolutionary novelty. DNA methylation may play a role in the evolution of duplicate genes (paralogs) through its association with gene expression. While this relationship has been examined to...

Article: Extensive embryonic patterning without cellular differentiation primes the plant epidermis for efficient post-embryonic stomatal activities Journal: Developmental Cell Year: 2023 Guest: Margot Smit Host: Arif Ashraf Abstract Plant leaves feature epidermal stomata that are organized in stereotyped patterns. How does the pattern originate? We provide transcriptomic, imaging, and genetic evi...

Article: A dolabralexin-deficient mutant provides insight into specialized diterpenoid metabolism in maize Journal: Plant Physiology Year: 2023 Guest: Katie Murphy Host: Arif Ashraf Abstract Two major groups of specialized metabolites in maize ( Zea mays ), termed kauralexins and dolabralexins, serve as known or predicted diterpenoid defenses against pathogens, herbivores, and other environmental...
