Abstract: Bardet‐Biedl syndrome (BBS) is an autosomal recessive pleiotropic disorder of the primary cilia that leads to severe visual loss in the teenage years. Approximately 80% of BBS cases are explained by mutations in one of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jxb/eraa281
Abstract: Pod shatter resistance of rapeseed is influenced by a SHP1.A9 allele that contains a copia-like retrotransposon insertion in the promoter region, which silences SHP1.A9 expression epigenetically via DNA methylation. read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/plphys/kiac378
Abstract: Wild rice (Oryza rufipogon) has a lower panicle seed setting rate (PSSR) and gamete fertility than domesticated rice (O. sativa), but the genetic mechanisms of this phenomenon remain unknown. Here, we cloned a null allele… read more here.
