We present unresolved questions in plant abiotic stress biology as posed by 15 research
groups with expertise spanning eco-physiology to cell and molecular biology. Common …

The widespread symbiotic interaction between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi
relies on a complex molecular dialog with reciprocal benefits in terms of nutrition, growth …

Crop production is facing unprecedented challenges. Despite the fact that the food supply
has significantly increased over the past half‐century,~ 8.9 and 14.3% people are still …

The Brassicaceae family comprises c. 4000 species including economically important crops
and the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Despite their importance, the relationships among …

Crucihimalaya himalaica, a close relative of Arabidopsis and Capsella, grows on the
Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) about 4,000 m above sea level and represents an attractive …

Finding causal relationships between genotypic and phenotypic variation is a key focus of
evolutionary biology, human genetics and plant breeding. To identify genome-wide patterns …

Background Brassicaceae is a family of green plants of high scientific and economic interest,
including thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana), cruciferous vegetables (cabbages) and …

Allopolyploidisation merges evolutionarily distinct parental genomes (subgenomes) into a
single nucleus. A frequent observation is that one subgenome is 'dominant'over the other …

During seed development, carbon is reallocated from maternal tissues to support
germination and subsequent growth. As this pool of resources is depleted post-germination …

Highlights•We revisit the concept of the Ancestral Crucifer Karyotype (ACK) and the
definition of a revised set of 22 conserved genomic blocks across the Brassicaceae family …
