The origin of MADS-box genes is fundamental to understanding the adaptative innovations of land plants. We are happy to have the opportunity for another round of clarification. Thank @genomebiolevol.bsky.social for providing the platform. Very professional editors and reviewers, much appreciated!

Qiu, Li & Köhler show that both Type I and Type II MADS-box genes are plant-specific duplicates derived from MEF2-type ancestors, while ancestral SRF genes were lost before the divergence of the plant lineage. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evag140 #genome #evolution #PlantSky

GBE | No Evidence Supports the Presence of SRF-type MADS-Box Genes in Land Plants Is there evidence that a small subset of plant Type I MADS-box genes are orthologous to animal SRF genes? Our analyses do not support this. Rather, they indicate that both plant Type I MADS-box genes and their plant-specific paralogous Type II genes are related to animal MEF2 genes.

Thrilled to have received an ERC Advanced Grant to investigate the mechanisms and biological impact of small RNA mobility in plants. A huge thanks to my team for making this possible, and to the reviewers for their support and confidence in the project. Looking forward to getting started!

I am delighted to share our review on MADS-box genes! Supported by Claudia @claudiakohler11.bsky.social, we attempt to summarize (nearly) everything currently known about Type I MADS-box genes. Let's have fun in the MADS world and check out the fruitful giants! academic.oup.com/jxb/advance-...

Have you ever wondered how it is possible that systemically infected plants produce (a certain percentage of) healthy progeny? 💚 Check out the first preprint of the @incavirus.bsky.social lab and first preprint of my postdoc! 🍀 We'd be very happy about feedback and discussions!

Preprint alert! It is my great pleasure to announce the first manuscript from the lab, a story that started @gmivienna.bsky.social and was mainly accomplished by the intrepid @gesahoffmann.bsky.social at @mpi-mp-potsdam.bsky.social. A brief thread with our findings www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

AGO5 restricts virus vertical transmission in plant gametophytes

The propagation of a viral infection from a host parent to its progeny is known as vertical transmission, or seed transmission in plants. It allows viral infections to rapidly spread locally via polle...
