Plants are fascinating and complex organisms. A comprehensive understanding of the
organization, function and evolution of plant genes is essential to disentangle important …

Co-expression networks have been shown to be a powerful tool for inferring a gene's
function when little is known about it. With the advent of next generation sequencing …

Rice is a major food crop with enormous biomass residue for biofuels. As plant cell wall
recalcitrance basically decides a costly biomass process, genetic modification of plant cell …

It is just over 60 years since a cycle for the regeneration of the CO2-acceptor used in
photosynthesis was proposed. In this opinion paper, we revisit the origins of the Calvin …

The molecular mechanisms underlying plant cell totipotency are largely unknown. Here, we
present a protocol for the efficient regeneration of plants from Arabidopsis thaliana …

One major objective for plant biology is the discovery of molecular subsystems underlying
complex traits. The use of genetic and genomic resources combined in a systems genetics …

A major challenge is to unravel how genes interact and are regulated to exert specific
biological functions. The integration of genome-wide functional genomics data, followed by …

Discovering gene sets underlying the expression of a given phenotype is of great
importance, as many phenotypes are the result of complex gene-gene interactions. Gene …

Lodging in crops seriously restricts plant growth and grain production. The genetic
modification of cell walls to enhance plant mechanical strength has been suggested as a …

Gene coexpression networks are a useful tool for summarizing transcriptomic data and
providing insight into patterns of gene regulation in a variety of species. Though there has …
