Despite being some of the most important crops globally, there has been limited research on
forages when compared with cereals, fruits, and vegetables. This review summarizes the …

Flavones correspond to a flavonoid subgroup that is widely distributed in the plants, and
which can be synthesized by different pathways, depending on whether they contain C-or O …

Excessive Na+ in soils inhibits plant growth. Here, we report that Na+ stress triggers primary
calcium signals specifically in a cell group within the root differentiation zone, thus forming a" …

Plants respond to pathogens using elaborate networks of genetic interactions. Recently,
significant progress has been made in understanding RNA silencing and how viruses …

The year 2014 marked the 25th International Conference on Arabidopsis Research. In the
50 yr since the first International Conference on Arabidopsis Research, held in 1965 in …

Plants live in association with microorganisms that positively influence plant development,
vigor, and fitness in response to pathogens and abiotic stressors. The bulk of the plant …

Barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) is a single-stranded RNA virus with three genome
components designated alpha, beta, and gamma. BSMV vectors have previously been …

Nitrogen is abundant in the earth's atmosphere but, unlike carbon, cannot be directly
assimilated by plants. The limitation this places on plant productivity has been circumvented …

Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGB) induce positive effects in plants, for instance,
increased growth and reduced abiotic stresses susceptibility. The mechanisms by which …

The genus Brachypodium represents a model system that is advancing our knowledge of
the biology of grasses, including small grains, in the postgenomics era. The most widely …
