Selection for drought-tolerant cereal varieties has successfully moved to screening for grain
yield under stress. Grain yield is the culmination of the process of grain filling, which in turn …

All organisms have an internal timing mechanism, termed the circadian clock, to anticipate
the light/dark cycle. The clock, with an oscillating rhythm that approximates 24h, is a rather …

Biological rhythms play a fundamental role in the physiology and behavior of most living
organisms. Rhythmic circadian expression of clock-controlled genes is orchestrated by a …

Background Asian cultivars were predominantly represented in global rice panel selected
for sequencing and to identify novel alleles for drought tolerance. Diverse genetic resources …

Leaf rolling is receiving considerable attention as an important agronomic trait in rice (Oryza
sativa L.). However, little has been known on the molecular mechanism of rice leaf rolling …

Plants have adapted to the diurnal light-dark cycle by establishing elaborate transcriptional
programs that coordinate many metabolic, physiological, and developmental responses to …

Highlights•Advantages and necessity of using temporal data to improve abiotic stress
studies in crops.•Brief summary of the circadian and diurnal datasets available.•Application …

Background Functional annotations of large plant genome projects mostly provide
information on gene function and gene families based on the presence of protein domains …

Various aspects of the organisms adapt to cyclically changing environmental conditions via
transcriptional regulation. However, the role of rhythmicity in altering the global aspects of …

Isoflavones and soyasaponins are major specialized metabolites accumulated in soybean
roots and secreted into the rhizosphere. Unlike the biosynthetic pathway, the transporters …
