The study of plant mitochondria started in earnest around 1950 with the first isolations of
mitochondria from animal and plant tissues. The first 35 years were spent establishing the …

Abstract Reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions, in which electrons move from a donor to an
acceptor, are the functional heart of photosynthesis. It is not surprising therefore that reactive …

Soil flooding creates composite and complex stress in plants known as either submergence
or waterlogging stress depending on the depth of the water table. In nature, these stresses …

Post-genomics era has witnessed the development of cutting-edge technologies that have
offered cost-efficient and high-throughput ways for molecular characterization of the function …

Simple Summary Research on plant epigenetics aims to understand how endogenous,
biotic, and abiotic factors regulate plant development and growth independent of changes in …

More than a century ago, August Weissman defined a distinction between the germline
(responsible for propagating heritable information from generation to generation) and the …

DNA methylation is a conserved epigenetic mark that plays important roles in maintaining
genome stability and regulating gene expression. As sessile organisms, plants have …

The field of epigenomics has rapidly progressed from the study of individual reference
epigenomes to surveying epigenomic variation in populations. Recent studies in a number …

Plants transmit signals long distances, as evidenced in grafting experiments that create
distinct rootstock-scion junctions. Noncoding small RNA is a signaling molecule that is graft …

Mitochondrial and plastid genomes in land plants exhibit some of the slowest rates of
sequence evolution observed in any eukaryotic genome, suggesting an exceptional ability …
