Plastids and mitochondria are the only organelles that possess genomes of endosymbiotic
origin. In recent decades, advances in sequencing technologies have contributed to a …

Crop improvement by genome editing involves the targeted alteration of genes to improve
plant traits, such as stress tolerance, disease resistance or nutritional content. Techniques …

Central metabolism produces carbohydrates and amino acids that are tightly correlated to
plant growth and thereby crop productivity. Malate is reported to link mitochondrial …

Panomics is an approach to integrate multiple 'omics' datasets, generated using different
individuals or natural variations. Considering their diverse phenotypic spectrum, the …

With-No-Lysine (WNK) kinases are a subfamily of serine/threonine protein kinases. WNKs
are involved in plant abiotic stress response and circadian rhythms. However, members of …

Apple rootstock dwarfing and dense planting are common practices in apple farming.
However, the dwarfing mechanisms are not understood. In our study, the expression of …

Plants have developed the ability to adjust to the day/night cycle through the expression of
diel genes, which allow them to effectively respond to environmental changes and optimise …

Main conclusion Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay in eukaryotes is vital to cellular
homeostasis. Further knowledge of its putative role in plant RNA metabolism under stress is …

Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) was awarded a pilot project in FY22 under the US
