The drought stress responses of vascular plants are complex regulatory mechanisms
because they include various physiological responses from signal perception under water …

A contribution of DNA methylation to defense against invading nucleic acids and
maintenance of genome integrity is uncontested; however, our understanding of the extent …

Pressurized cells with strong walls make up the hydrostatic skeleton of plants. Assembly and
expansion of such stressed walls depend on a family of secreted RAPID ALKALINIZATION …

The rapid development of high-throughput sequencing techniques has led biology into the
big-data era. Data analyses using various bioinformatics tools rely on programming and …
