Endophytic fungi (EF) are a group of fascinating host-associated fungal communities that
colonize the intercellular or intracellular spaces of host tissues, providing beneficial effects to …

The WRKY proteins are a superfamily of transcription factors with up to 100 representatives
in Arabidopsis. Family members appear to be involved in the regulation of various physio …

Metabolomics or the large-scale phytochemical analysis of plants is reviewed in relation to
functional genomics and systems biology. A historical account of the introduction and …

We identified Arabidopsis thaliana sterility mutants by screening T-DNA and EMS-
mutagenized lines and characterized several male-sterile mutants with defects specific for …

The evolution of new genes to make novel secondary compounds in plants is an ongoing
process and might account for most of the differences in gene function among plant …

▪ Abstract Retrotransposons are mobile genetic elements that transpose through reverse
transcription of an RNA intermediate. Retrotransposons are ubiquitous in plants and play a …

Arabidopsis thaliana is a small plant in the mustard family that has become the model
system of choice for research in plant biology. Significant advances in understanding plant …

Classical genetic and molecular data show that genes determining disease resistance in
plants are frequently clustered in the genome. Genes for resistance (R genes) to diverse …

Abstract The TRANSPARENT TESTA8 (TT8) locus is involved in the regulation of flavonoid
biosynthesis in Arabidopsis. The tt8-3 allele was isolated from a T-DNA–mutagenized …

Mutations at the SCARECROW (SCR) locus in Arabidopsis thaliana result in defective radial
patterning in the root and shoot. The SCR gene product contains sequences which suggest …
