The study of biological systems relies to a large extent on DNA cloning technologies
enabling the analysis of recombinant genes through transgenic research. In this context, the …

Several vector systems are available for tissue‐specific transactivation or chemical induction
of transgene expression in plants. The choice facing researchers is which promoter system …

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroidal phytohormones that are essential for plant growth,
development and adaptation to environmental stresses. BRs act in a dose-dependent …

Pathogens secrete effector proteins and many operate inside plant cells to enable infection.
Some effectors have been found to enter subcellular compartments by mimicking host …

Plant roots exhibit plasticity in their branching patterns to forage efficiently for
heterogeneously distributed resources, such as soil water. The xerobranching response …

INTRODUCTION Epigenetic modifications to chromatin, such as the methylation of DNA
cytosines, carry regulatory information across the generations in plants and animals …

Defining specific protein interactions and spatially or temporally restricted local proteomes
improves our understanding of all cellular processes, but obtaining such data is challenging …

Auxin is a key plant morphogenetic signal but tools to analyse dynamically its distribution
and signalling during development are still limited. Auxin perception directly triggers the …

Methylations on nucleosomal histones play fundamental roles in regulating eukaryotic
transcription. Jumonji C domain–containing histone demethylases (JMJs) dynamically …

Gynogenesis is an asexual mode of reproduction common to animals and plants, in which
stimuli from the sperm cell trigger the development of the unfertilized egg cell into a haploid …
