Sex determination in higher plants is of fundamental biological interest and has great practical significance for fruit and seed production (Renner2016). At several points during floral morphogenesis, this process is regulated on many omics levels by a complex regulatory network of interacting genes (P...
In the past, these processes have been tackled independently from each other, but coordinated efforts are required to understand the fine mechanics of source–sink relations and thus optimize crop yield. Here, we describe approaches to design high-yielding crop plants utilizing strategies derived ...
Rice commercial production is seriously threatened by various pathogens. Generally, the susceptibility (S) genes in plants are exploited by phytopathogens to promote infection. Dysfunction ofSgenes may result in recessively inheritable durable and broad-spectrum disease resistance. In this review, we sum...
The large milkweed bug, Oncopeltus fasciatus, shown in its phylogenetic and environmental context. a Species tree of selected Hemiptera with genomic and transcriptomic resources, based on phylogenetic analyses and divergence time estimates in [3]. Species marked with an asterisk (*) have published ...
COVID-19 is a global pandemic that caused a dramatic loss of human life worldwide, leading to accelerated research for antiviral drug discovery. Herbal medicine is one of the most commonly used alternative medicine for the prevention and treatment of man
ABI5 are pivotal in the dormancy-to-sprouting transition, controlling the expression of downstream target genes involved in seed germination (Shu et al.2016). StABI5 plays a crucial role in the regulation of tuber dormancy by controlling auxin signaling pathway and regulating the expression of down...
(and consequently cyclic di-GMP levels) are responsive to environmental cues. Cyclic di-GMP exerts its effects on certain cellular functions by binding to proteins containing a PilZ domain. This domain may occur either as a stand-alone domain, which may act as an "adaptor" to bind other ...
Polyploidy is typically described as the condition wherein a cell or organism has more than two complete sets of chromosomes. Occurrence of polyploidy is a naturally occurring phenomenon in the body’s development and differentiation processes under norm
Salt stress-induced Ca2+ waves are associated with rapid, long-distance root-to-shoot signaling in plants. Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 111, 6497–6502 (2014). Article CAS PubMed PubMed Central Google Scholar Feng, W. et al. The FERONIA receptor kinase maintains cell-wall integrity during...
Plants suffer from abiotic stress due to several soil- and environment-related factors. They need water and essential plant nutrients to carry out their metabolism and survive. Plant genome regulates expression of different sets of genes to ensure availa
