Repairing a deleterious domestication variant in a floral regulator gene of tomato by base editing - Nature Genetics
A deleterious mutation in the tomato transcription factor SSP2 was enriched during domestication. Repairing the deleterious mutation in cultivated tomato by base editing leads to compact growth and ea...

Horizontal transposon transfer during plant terrestrialization
During the move to land, plants acquired transposable elements by horizontal transfer from bacteria and fungi and land plants have many long non-coding RNAs derived from retrotransposons acquired by ...
