Fruit growth is mediated by cell division and expansion. In tomato, the model for fleshy fruit development, both processes are tightly linked to changes in gene expression, including transcriptional regulation and RNA processing. While several transcription factors are implicated in fruit developmental programs, the role of splicing regulators remains largely unexplored. Expression profiling of splicing-related genes revealed...

Summary A caryochloris marina is a symbiotic species of cyanobacteria that is capable of utilizing far‐red light. We report the characterization of the phages A ‐ HIS 1 and A ‐ HIS 2, capable of infecting A caryochloris . Morphological characterization of these phages places them in the family S iphoviridae . However, molecular characterization reveals that they do not show genetic similarity with any known siphoviruses. While...
