Since the completion of the rice genome sequencing project in 2005, we have entered the
era of rice genomics, which is still in its ascendancy. Rice genomics studies can be …

Embryo rescue (ER) techniques are among the oldest and most successful in vitro tissue
culture protocols used with plant species. ER refers to a series of methods that promote the …

Rice (Oryza sativa) is a major staple food crop for more than 3.5 billion people worldwide.
Understanding the regulatory mechanisms of complex agronomic traits in rice is critical for …

Transcription factors (TFs) are diverse groups of regulatory proteins. Through their specific
binding domains, TFs bind to their target genes and regulate their expression, therefore TFs …

During early plant embryogenesis, precursors for all major tissues and stem cells are
formed. While several components of the regulatory framework are known, how cell fates are …

Embryonic development represents an important reproductive phase of sexually
reproducing plant species. The fusion of egg and sperm produces the plant zygote, a …

Key message Developmental and transcriptomic analysis of Brachypodium embryogenesis
and comparison with Arabidopsis identifies conserved and divergent phases of …

During embryogenesis in plants, cell identities are specified de novo, starting from a single
cell. By combining imaging, genomic profiling, and genetics, principles of early plant …

The endosperm of cereal grain forms the staple diet for most of the world's population, and
feeds much of their stock. Grain size and quality are determined largely by events taking …

Cis-regulatory elements (CREs) are critical in coordinating the regulation of gene
expression. Understanding how CREs evolve represents a challenging endeavor. Here, we …
