How will I recognize you? Insights into endocytic cargo recognition in plants
Curr Opin Plant Biol. 2023 Jul 29;75:102429. doi: 10.1016/j.pbi.2023.102429. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe plasma membrane (PM) houses a wide variety of proteins, facilitating interactions between the cell and its surroundings. Perception of external stimuli leads to selective internalization of membrane proteins via endocytosis. A multitude of endocytic signals affect protein internalization; however, their coordination and the exact mechanism of their recognition still remain elusive. In this review, we summarized the up-to-date knowledge of different internalization signals in PM cargo proteins and their involvement...

Species-specific 'specialized' genomic region provides the new insights into the functional genomics characterizing metabolic polymorphisms in plants
Curr Opin Plant Biol. 2023 Jul 28;75:102427. doi: 10.1016/j.pbi.2023.102427. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFunctional genomics approaches with comparative omics analyses of wild-accessions and cultivars/wild species, as well as comparative genomic analyses in plant species focusing on gene clusters, have successfully detected key metabolic polymorphisms in plant specialized metabolism. In recent decades, (i) intra-species specific metabolic polymorphisms, (ii) new functionalization of tandem duplicated genes, and (iii) metabolic gene clusters were found as the main factors creating metabolic diversity of specialized metabo...

How transposable elements are recognized and epigenetically silenced in plants?
Curr Opin Plant Biol. 2023 Jul 21;75:102428. doi: 10.1016/j.pbi.2023.102428. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPlant genomes are littered with transposable elements (TEs). Because TEs are potentially highly mutagenic, host organisms have evolved a set of defense mechanisms to recognize and epigenetically silence them. Although the maintenance of TE silencing is well studied, our understanding of the initiation of TE silencing is limited, but it clearly involves small RNAs and DNA methylation. Once TEs are silent, the silent state can be maintained to subsequent generations. However, under some circumstances, such inheritance i...

Epigenetic control of transposons during plant reproduction: From meiosis to hybrid seeds
Curr Opin Plant Biol. 2023 Jul 20;75:102419. doi: 10.1016/j.pbi.2023.102419. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe regulation of transposable elements (TEs) requires overlapping epigenetic modifications that must be reinforced every cell division and generation. In plants, this is achieved by multiple pathways including small RNAs, DNA methylation, and repressive histone marks that act together to control TE expression and activity throughout the entire life cycle. However, transient TE activation is observed during reproductive transitions as a result of epigenome reprogramming, thus providing windows of opportunity for TE pr...

Transposable element evolution in plant genome ecosystems
Curr Opin Plant Biol. 2023 Jul 15;75:102418. doi: 10.1016/j.pbi.2023.102418. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe relationship of transposable elements (TEs) with their host genomes has usually been seen as an arms race between TEs and their host genomes. Consequently, TEs are supposed to amplify by bursts of transposition, when the TE escapes host surveillance, followed by long periods of TE quiescence and efficient host control. Recent data obtained from an increasing number of assembled plant genomes and resequencing population datasets show that TE dynamics is more complex and varies among TE families and their host genom...
