Plant alternative splicing!
Alternative splicing may act as an environmental sensor, regulating gene expression by modulating the balance between canonical and nonsense transcripts.
Alternative splicing may function as a short-term regulatory mechanism to modulate gene expression during stress, while simultaneously providing a molecular framework for the establishment of epigenetic stress memory when similar challenges recur.
Differential splicing and isoform switching play key roles in the worldwide expansion and adaptation of A. thaliana.
