    Abstract The 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 proliferation and epigenetic novelty. Ultimately, these events may originate complex TE-driven transcriptional networks or cell-to-cell communication strategies via mobile small RNAs. In this review, we discuss recent findings and current understanding of TE regulation during sexual plant reproduction, and its implications for fertility, early seed development, and epigenetic inheritance.

    Abstract Transposable elements (TEs) are important components of most plant genomes. These mobile repetitive sequences are highly diverse in terms of abundance, structure, transposition mechanisms, activity and insertion specificities across plant species. This review will survey the different mechanisms that may explain the variability of TE patterns in land plants, highlighting the tight connection between TE dynamics and host genome specificities, and their co-evolution to face and adapt to a changing environment. We present the current TE classification in land plants, and describe the different levels of genetic and epigenetic controls originating from the plant, the TE itself, or external environmental factors. Such overlapping mechanisms of TE regulation might be responsible for the high diversity and dynamics of plant TEs observed in nature.

    Abstract The use of permanent arrays for continuous reservoir monitoring has become a reality in the past decades, with Ekofisk and Valhall being its flagships. One of the possibilities when such a solution is available is to passively record data while acquisitions with an active source are ongoing in nearby areas. These recordings might contain ultrafar-offset data (more than 30 km), which are hardly used in standard reservoir exploration and monitoring because they are mostly a combination of normal modes, deep reflections, and diving waves. We present data from the Valhall life-of-field seismic array, recorded while an active seismic survey was acquired at Ekofisk, in April 2014. Despite the lack of control on source firing time and position, analysis of the data indicates that the normal modes are remarkably clear, overcoming the ambient noise in the field. The normal modes can be well explained by a two-layer acoustic model, whereas a combination of diving waves and refracted waves can be fairly well reproduced with a regional 1D velocity model. We suggest a method to use far-offset recordings to monitor changes in shallow sediments between source and receivers, with and without a coherent seismic source in the area.

    Abstract Aim: To evaluate the quantity and quality of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in hepatobiliary surgery and for identifying gaps in current evidences.
    Methods: A systematic search was conducted in MEDLINE (via PubMed), Web of Science, and Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials (CENTRAL) for RCTs of hepatobiliary surgery published from inception until the end of 2023. The quality of each study was assessed using the Cochrane risk-of-bias (RoB) tool. The associations between risk of bias and the region and publication date were also assessed. Evidence mapping was performed to identify research gaps in the field.
    Results: The study included 1187 records. The number and proportion of published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in hepatobiliary surgery increased over time, from 13 RCTs (.0005% of publications) in 1970-1979 to 201 RCTs (.003% of publications) in 2020-2023. There was a significant increase in the number of studies with a low risk of bias in RoB domains (p < .01). The proportion of RCTs with low risk of bias improved significantly after the introduction of CONSORT guidelines (p < .001). The evidence mapping revealed a significant research focus on major and minor hepatectomy and cholecystectomy. However, gaps were identified in liver cyst surgery and hepatobiliary vascular surgery. Additionally, there are gaps in the field of perioperative management and nutrition intervention.
    Conclusion: The quantity and quality of RCTs in hepatobiliary surgery have increased over time, but there is still room for improvement. We have identified gaps in current research that can be addressed in future studies.

    Abstract The triploid block, which prevents interploidy hybridizations in flowering plants, is characterized by a failure in endosperm development, arrest in embryogenesis, and seed collapse. Many genetic components of triploid seed lethality have been successfully identified in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, most notably the paternally expressed genes (PEGs), which are upregulated in tetraploid endosperm with paternal excess. Previous studies have shown that the paternal epigenome is a key determinant of the triploid block response, as the loss of DNA methylation in diploid pollen suppresses the triploid block almost completely. Here, we demonstrate that triploid seed collapse is bypassed in Arabidopsis plants treated with the DNA methyltransferase inhibitor 5-Azacytidine during seed germination and early growth. We identified strong suppressor lines showing stable transgenerational inheritance of hypomethylation in the CG context, as well as normalized expression of PEGs in triploid seeds. Importantly, differentially methylated loci segregate in the progeny of "epimutagenized" plants, which may allow epialleles involved in the triploid block response to be identified in future studies. Finally, we demonstrate that chemically induced epimutagenesis facilitates hybridization between different Capsella species, thus potentially emerging as a strategy for producing triploids and interspecific hybrids with high agronomic interest.

    Abstract Plant genomes encode various small RNAs that function in distinct, yet overlapping, genetic and epigenetic silencing pathways. However, the abundance and diversity of small-RNA classes varies among plant species, suggesting coevolution between environmental adaptations and gene-silencing mechanisms. Biogenesis of small RNAs in plants is well understood, but we are just beginning to uncover their intricate regulation and activity. Here, we discuss the biogenesis of plant small RNAs, such as microRNAs, secondary siRNAs and heterochromatic siRNAs, and their diverse cellular and developmental functions, including in reproductive transitions, genomic imprinting and paramutation. We also discuss the diversification of small-RNA-directed silencing pathways through the expansion of RNA-dependent RNA polymerases, DICER proteins and ARGONAUTE proteins.

    Abstract Quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR is a powerful tool for precise gene expression quantification. Using suitable reference genes is crucial for a proper normalization and interpretation of results, particularly in dynamic transcriptional networks with the involvement of several miRNAs and their targets, such as somatic embryogenesis (SE). Here, we aimed to identify genes to be used as internal controls for quantitative detection of miRNAs and mRNAs during the SE process in Solanum betaceum. The expression of EF1α, GAPDH, ACT, UBQ10, Fe-SOD, U6, snoR14, miR159a, miR162 and miR166a was tested in nine time-points of the SE process, particularly during induction, embryo development and conversion. Analyses of transcriptional stability were performed using RefFinder tool that integrates geNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper and Delta-Ct algorithms. Among these candidates, Fe-SOD, ACT and U6 emerged consistently as the most suitable to normalize gene expression, whereas miR166a was the most appropriate for normalization in calli samples. In order to validate these results, expression of miR396 and GRF1 was quantified and normalized with the most and the least stable genes and also with the most stable miRNA. Fe-SOD + ACT revealed to be the optimal combination for precise quantification of miRNA-mediated regulation of gene expression during SE in tamarillo.
