Alternative splicing (AS) of precursor mRNAs (pre-mRNAs) from multiexon genes allows
organisms to increase their coding potential and regulate gene expression through multiple …

Plants, unlike animals, exhibit a very high degree of plasticity in their growth and
development and employ diverse strategies to cope with the variations during diurnal cycles …

We have analyzed the maize leaf transcriptome using Illumina sequencing. We mapped
more than 120 million reads to define gene structure and alternative splicing events and to …

Jasmonates (JAs) are fatty acid‐derived signaling compounds that control diverse aspects of
plant growth, development and immunity. The F‐box protein COI1 functions both as a …

Alternative splicing (AS) plays important roles in many plant functions, but its conservation
across the plant kingdom is not known. We describe a methodology to identify AS events …

Maize and sorghum are both important crops with similar overall plant architectures, but they
have key differences, especially in regard to their inflorescences. To better understand these …

Despite significant advances in high-throughput DNA sequencing, many important species
remain understudied at the genome level. In this study we addressed a question of what can …

Plant aquaporins are a large and diverse family of water channel proteins that are essential
for several physiological processes in living organisms. Numerous studies have linked plant …

Alternative splicing (AS) generates transcript variants by variable exon/intron definition and
massively expands transcriptome diversity. Changes in AS patterns have been found to be …

Alternative splicing occurs in all eukaryotic organisms. Since the first description of
multiexon genes and the splicing machinery, the field has expanded rapidly, especially in …
