Plants like Arabidopsis, seen here, have two options to ensure accurate chromosome division—a molecule called DDM1 and a process known as RNAi. If Arabidopsis loses one of these, it’s fine.

Results prove that inversions can be generated in plants without causing further unwanted changes in the expression of genetic information.

The centromere of chromosomes plays a crucial role in cell division. Using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, an international team of researchers has investigated how two crucial proteins ...

Genomic DNA from Arabidopsis was fragmented and prepared ... EVD targeted gene-rich chromosome arm regions and rarely integrated into centromeres. These differences were attributed to variations ...
