Covering: up to 2022 With the emergence of large amounts of omics data, computational
approaches for the identification of plant natural product biosynthetic pathways and their …

Over 100 whole-genome sequences from algae are published or soon to be published. The
rapidly increasing availability of these fundamental resources is changing how we …

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

Background A deeper understanding of differences and similarities in transcriptional
regulation between species can uncover important information about gene functions and the …

Plant innate immunity relies on nucleotide binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) that
recognize pathogen-derived molecules and activate downstream signaling pathways. We …

Co-expression network analysis is one of the most powerful approaches for interpretation of
large transcriptomic datasets. It enables characterization of modules of co-expressed genes …

Growth is characterized by the interplay between cell division and cell expansion, two
processes that occur separated along the growth zone at the maize leaf. To gain further …

Molecular evolutionary studies correlate genomic and phylogenetic information with the
emergence of new traits of organisms. These traits are, however, the consequence of …

Cell wall recalcitrance is the major challenge to improving saccharification efficiency in
converting lignocellulose into biofuels. However, information regarding the transcriptional …
