Components of the ribosome biogenesis pathway underlie establishment of telomere length set point in Arabidopsis

Major effect loci controlling natural, heritable variation in telomere length are not known. Here, the authors use QTL mapping and transgenic manipulations in Arabidopsis to implicate the rRNA-processing genes NOP2A and RPL5 in telomere length set point regulation in this model species.
