Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is primary dietary source for half of the global population that
comprising both essential nutrients and toxic heavy metal elements for human health. A …

Natural variants of crops are generated from wild progenitor plants under both natural and
human selection. Diverse crops that are able to adapt to various environmental conditions …

Maintaining microbiome structure is critical for the health of both plants and animals. By re-
screening a collection of Arabidopsis mutants affecting root immunity and hormone …

Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are being used to generate whole genome
sequences for a wide range of crop species. When combined with precise phenotyping …

Biological assay has been based on analysis of all individuals collected from sample
populations. Bulked sample analysis (BSA), which works with selected and pooled …

Thermomorphogenesis is defined as the suite of morphological changes that together are
likely to contribute to adaptive growth acclimation to usually elevated ambient temperature …

The long-lasting success of forward genetic screens relies on the simple molecular basis of
the characterized phenotypes, which are typically caused by mutations in single genes …

Whole-genome duplications are radical evolutionary events that have driven speciation and
adaptation in many taxa. Higher-order polyploids have complex histories often including …

The identification of genetic markers linked to genes of agronomic importance is a major aim
of crop research and breeding programmes. Here, we identify markers for Yr15, a major …

Medicinal plants produce important substrates for their adaptation and defenses against
environmental factors and, at the same time, are used for traditional medicine and industrial …
