The study investigates the Arabidopsis ribosomal protein RPS6A and its role in auxin‑related root growth, revealing that rps6a mutants display shortened primary roots, fewer lateral roots, and defective vasculature that are not rescued by exogenous auxin. Cell biological observations and global transcriptome profiling show weakened auxin signaling and reduced levels of PIN auxin transporters in the mutant, indicating a non‑canonical function of the ribosomal subunit in auxin pathways.

The study generated two allotriploid Brassica hybrids (ArAnCn) to investigate asymmetric subgenome dominance, finding that the Cn subgenome dominates despite the An subgenome showing highest expression levels. Increased density of accessible chromatin regions (ACRs) in the Cn subgenome correlates with dominant gene expression, while changes in CHH methylation and specific RNA‑directed DNA methylation pathway mutants affect subgenome bias.

The study investigates how miR394 influences flowering time in Arabidopsis thaliana by combining transcriptomic profiling of mir394a mir394b double mutants with histological analysis of reporter lines. Bioinformatic analysis identified a novel lncRNA overlapping MIR394B (named MIRAST), and differential promoter activity of MIR394A and MIR394B suggests miR394 fine‑tunes flower development through transcription factor and chromatin remodeler regulation.

The study examined 57 global accessions of the invasive hybrid Kalanchoe xhoughtonii and its parents, revealing extensive cytogenetic and genomic variation among morphotypes but identifying a single tetraploid genotype (morphotype A) that dominates worldwide. This genotype exhibits remarkable genetic uniformity, high phenotypic plasticity, and prolific vegetative propagation, illustrating how hybridization and polyploidy can drive rapid invasive success.
