The monophyletic group of embryophytes (land plants) stands out among photosynthetic
eukaryotes: they are the sole constituents of the macroscopic flora on land. In their entirety …

Third-generation long-read sequencing is transforming plant genomics. Oxford Nanopore
Technologies and Pacific Biosciences are offering competing long-read sequencing …

Abstract ATTED-II (http://atted. jp) is a coexpression database for plant species to aid in the
discovery of relationships of unknown genes within a species. As an advanced …

The appearance of plant organs mediated the explosive radiation of land plants, which
shaped the biosphere and allowed the establishment of terrestrial animal life. The evolution …

The aerial epidermis of land plants is covered with a hydrophobic cuticle that protects the
plant against environmental stresses. Although the mechanisms of cuticle biosynthesis have …

The genus Brachypodium represents a model system that is advancing our knowledge of
the biology of grasses, including small grains, in the postgenomics era. The most widely …

Gene expression data for Archaeplastida are accumulating exponentially, with more than
300 000 RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) experiments available for hundreds of species. The …

A gene regulatory network (GRN) is a collection of regulatory interactions between
transcription factors (TFs) and their target genes. GRNs control different biological processes …

Gene co-expression analysis has emerged as a powerful method to provide insights into
gene function and regulation. The rapid growth of publicly available RNA-sequencing (RNA …

Co-expression network analysis is one of the most powerful approaches for interpretation of
