Leaf and floral tissue degeneration is a common feature in plants. In cereal crops such as
barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), pre-anthesis tip degeneration (PTD) starts with growth arrest of …

Alternative splicing (AS) is a gene regulatory mechanism modulating gene expression in
multiple ways. AS is prevalent in all eukaryotes including plants. AS generates two or more …

Crop pangenomes made from individual cultivar assemblies promise easy access to
conserved genes, but genome content variability and inconsistent identifiers hamper their …

A prerequisite to exploiting soil microbes for sustainable crop production is the identification
of the plant genes shaping microbiota composition in the rhizosphere, the interface between …

Background RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) has been widely used to study the dynamic
expression patterns of transcribed genes, which can lead to new biological insights …

Barley genomic resources are increasing rapidly, with the publication of a barley
pangenome as one of the latest developments. Two-row spring barley cultivars are intensely …

Barley is a resilient crop with high nutritional value and adaptability, making it a promising
candidate for phytoremediation and space agriculture. The study presents a comprehensive …

Winter dormancy is a key process in the phenology of temperate perennials. Climate change
is severely impacting its course leading to economic losses in agriculture. A better …

Nitrogen (N) fertilizer is one of the major inputs for grain crops including barley and its usage
is increasing globally. However, N use efficiency (NUE) is low in cereal crops, leading to …

A pan-transcriptome describes the transcriptional and post-transcriptional consequences of
genome diversity from multiple individuals within a species, revealing an assortment of …
