Gibberellins modulate multiple aspects of plant behavior. The molecular mechanism by
which these hormones are perceived and how this information is translated into …

Siphonogamy, the delivery of nonmotile sperm to the egg via a pollen tube, was a key
innovation that allowed flowering plants (angiosperms) to carry out sexual reproduction on …

Auxin influences growth and development in plants by altering gene expression. Many auxin‐
responsive genes have been characterized in Arabidopsis in detail, but not in crop plants …

The functional complexity of the rice transcriptome is not yet fully elucidated, despite many
studies having reported the use of DNA microarrays. Next-generation DNA sequencing …

Growth and development of a plant are controlled by programmed expression of suits of
genes at the appropriate time, tissue and abundance. Although genomic resources have …

Abstract Background Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are the ubiquitous enzymes that
play a key role in cellular detoxification. Although several GSTs have been identified and …

Elucidating the function of all predicted genes in rice remains as the ultimate goal in cereal
genomics in order to ensure the development of improved varieties that will sustain an …

Drought is the single most common cause of severe crop production shortage in developing
countries, and global warming is predicted to further exacerbate drought's impact. This …

Transcriptome and metabolite profiling of rice (Oryza sativa) embryo tissue during a detailed
time course formed a foundation for examining transcriptional and posttranscriptional …

Male reproductive development is a complex biological process which includes the
formation of the stamen with differentiated anther tissues, in which microspores/pollens are …
