Intergenic splicing-stimulated transcriptional readthrough is suppressed by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay in Arabidopsis.

Recent emerging evidence has shown that readthrough transcripts (RTs), including polycistronic mRNAs, are also transcribed in eukaryotes. However, the post-transcriptional regulation for these remains to be elucidated. Here, we identify 271 polycistronic RT-producing loci in Arabidopsis.

Regulatory Potential of bHLH-Type Transcription Factors on the Road to Rubber Biosynthesis in .

Natural rubber is the main component of latex obtained from laticifer cells of . For improving rubber yield, it is essential to understand the genetic molecular mechanisms responsible for laticifer differentiation and rubber biosynthesis. Jasmonate enhances both secondary laticifer differentiation and rubber biosynthesis.
