Therefore, in this study, we employed a combination of SMRT and Illumina sequencing technology to analyze the full-length transcriptome sequencing of O. vulgatum for the first time. In particular, we experimentally identified gene clusters based on transcriptome data and investigated the effects of chloroplast gene clustering on expression and evolutionary patterns. The results revealed that the total sequenced data volume of the full-length transcriptome of O. vulgatum amounted to 71,950,652,163 bp, and 110 chloroplast genes received transcript coverage. Nine different types of gene clusters were experimentally identified in their transcripts. The chloroplast cluster genes may cause a decrease in non-synonymous substitution rate and selection pressure, as well as a reduction in transversion rate, transition rate, and their ratio.

IPI1/emb175/PPR103 is a nuclear gene encoding a PLS-type PPR protein essential for survival in Arabidopsis thaliana and maize. Arabidopsis IPI1 was identified as likely interacting with ISE2, a chloroplast-localized RNA helicase associated with C-to-U RNA editing in Arabidopsis and maize.

In this study we examined the function of IPI1 in chloroplast RNA processing in N. benthamiana to gain insight into the importance of the DYW domain to the function of the EMB175/PPR103/ IPI1 proteins.

Virus-induced gene silencing of NbIPI1 led to defects in chloroplast ribosomal RNA processing and changes to stability of rpl16 transcripts, revealing conserved function with its maize ortholog. NbIPI1-silenced plants also had defective C-to-U RNA editing in several chloroplast transcripts, a contrast from the finding that maize PPR103 had no role in editing.

To minimize salt-associated damages in plant, better salt management practices in agriculture have become a prerequisite. Seed priming with different halo-agents is a technique, which improves the primed plant's endurance to tackle sodium. Salt tolerance is achieved in tolerant plants through fundamental physiological mechanisms- ion-exclusion and tissue tolerance, and salt-tolerant plants may (Na<sup>+</sup> accumulators) or may not (Na<sup>+</sup> excluders) allow sodium movement to leaves. While Na<sup>+</sup> excluders depend on ion exclusion in roots, Na<sup>+</sup> accumulators are proficient Na<sup>+</sup> managers that can compartmentalize Na<sup>+</sup> in leaves and use them beneficially as inexpensive osmoticum. Salt-sensitive plants are Na<sup>+</sup> accumulators, but their inherent tissue tolerance ability and ion-exclusion process are insufficient for tolerance. Seed priming with different halo-agents aids in 'rewiring' of the salt tolerance mechanisms of plants. The resetting of the salt tolerance mechanism is not universal for every halo-agent and might vary with halo-agents. Here, we review the physiological mechanisms that different halo-agents target to confer enhanced salt tolerance in primed plants. Calcium and potassium-specific halo-agents trigger Na<sup>+</sup> exclusion in roots, thus ensuring a low amount of Na<sup>+</sup> in leaves. In contrast, Na<sup>+</sup>-specific priming agents favour processes for Na<sup>+</sup> inclusion in leaves, improve plant tissue tolerance or vacuolar sequestration, and provide the greatest benefit to salt-sensitive and sodium accumulating plants.

It enables the design of crosses between different varieties to combine desirable traits and create new ones. This is because the meiotic crossovers between homologous chromatids are not purely random, and various strategies have been developed to describe and predict such exchange events. Recent studies have used methylation data to predict chromosomal recombination in rice using machine learning models. This approach proved successful due to the presence of a positive correlation between the CHH context cytosine methylation and recombination rates in rice chromosomes. This paper assesses the question if methylation can be used to predict recombination in four plant species: Arabidopsis, maize, sorghum, and tomato. The results indicate a positive association between CHH context methylation and recombination rates in certain plant species, with varying degrees of strength in their relationships. The CG and CHG methylation contexts show negative correlation with recombination. Methylation data was key effectively in predicting recombination in sorghum and tomato, with a mean determination coefficient of 0.65 ± 0.11 and 0.76 ± 0.05, respectively. In addition, the mean correlation values between predicted and experimental recombination rates were 0.83 ± 0.06 for sorghum and 0.90 ± 0.05 for tomato, confirming the significance of methylomes in both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous species. The predictions for Arabidopsis and maize were not as accurate, likely due to the comparatively weaker relationships between methylation contexts and recombination, in contrast to sorghum and tomato, where stronger associations were observed. To enhance the accuracy of predictions, further evaluations using data sets closely related to each other might prove beneficial.
