HnRNP-like proteins as post-transcriptional regulators by Yeap, Wan Chin, Namasivayam, Parameswari, Ho, Chai Ling

“…In addition to their involvement in post-transcriptional regulation from mRNA capping to translation, they are also involved in telomere regulation, gene silencing and regulation in chloroplast. Here, we review the involvement of plant hnRNP-like proteins in post-transcription regulation of RNA processes and their functional roles in control of plant developmental processes especially plant-specific functions including flowering, chloroplastic-specific mRNA regulation, long-distance phloem transportation and plant responses to environmental stresses.…”

A New Approach Using Targeted Sequence Capture for Phylogenomic Studies across Cactaceae by Serena Acha, Lucas C. Majure

“…Relationships within the major clades of Cactaceae are relatively well known based on DNA sequence data mostly from the chloroplast genome. Nevertheless, some nodes along the backbone of the phylogeny, and especially generic and species-level relationships, remain poorly resolved and are in need of more informative genetic markers. …”
