Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) monitor the plant intracellular
environment for signs of pathogen infection. Several mechanisms of NLR-mediated …

The majority of disease resistance genes in plants encode nucleotide-binding site leucine-
rich repeat (NBS-LRR) proteins. This large family is encoded by hundreds of diverse genes …

The genus Oryza is a model system for the study of molecular evolution over time scales
ranging from a few thousand to 15 million years. Using 13 reference genomes spanning the …

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

Both plants and animals rely on nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat-
containing (NLR) proteins to respond to invading pathogens and activate immune …

Summary Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) is a major crop for worldwide food and
nutritional security, especially in sub‐Saharan Africa, that is resilient to hot and drought …

Despite hundreds of sequenced Arabidopsis genomes, very little is known about the degree
of genomic collinearity within single species, due to the low number of chromosome-level …

Background Transposable elements are major evolutionary forces which can cause new
genome structure and species diversification. The role of transposable elements in the …

Abstract Background Highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) has long been
consumed for its unique flavor and composition of health-promoting phytonutrients …

Despite the enormous ecological and economic importance of coral reefs, the keystone
organisms in their establishment, the scleractinian corals, increasingly face a range of …
