Since whole-genome sequencing of many crops has been achieved, crop functional
genomics studies have stepped into the big-data and high-throughput era. However …

With the development of molecular marker technology in the 1980s, the fate of plant
breeding has changed. Different types of molecular markers have been developed and …

Many organisms evolved strategies to survive desiccation. Plant seeds protect dehydrated
embryos from various stressors and can lay dormant for millennia. Hydration is the key …

Big datasets, accumulated from biomedical and agronomic studies, provide the potential to
identify genes that control complex human diseases and agriculturally important traits …

Global climate change (GCC) increasingly threatens biodiversity through the loss of species,
and the transformation of entire ecosystems. Many species are challenged by the pace of …

Transcription factors (TFs) play a significant role in signal transduction networks spanning
the perception of a stress signal and the expression of corresponding stress-responsive …

False positives in a Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) can be effectively controlled
by a fixed effect and random effect Mixed Linear Model (MLM) that incorporates population …

The epigenome orchestrates genome accessibility, functionality, and three-dimensional
structure. Because epigenetic variation can impact transcription and thus phenotypes, it may …
