cis-Regulatory elements encode the genomic blueprints that ensure the proper
spatiotemporal patterning of gene expression necessary for appropriate development and …

We present unresolved questions in plant abiotic stress biology as posed by 15 research
groups with expertise spanning eco-physiology to cell and molecular biology. Common …

Despite the increased access to high-quality plant genome sequences, the set of genes with
a known function remains far from complete. With the advent of novel bulk and single-cell …

Translation is a crucial step in gene expression and plays a vital role in regulating various
aspects of plant development and environmental responses. It is a dynamic and complex …

Aspirations for high crop growth and yield, nutritional quality and bioproduction of materials
are challenged by climate change and limited adoption of new technologies. Here, we …

Wheat, an essential crop for global food security, is well adapted to a wide variety of soils.
However, the gene networks sha** different root architectures remain poorly understood …

The shoot and root system architectures are fundamental for crop productivity. During the
history of artificial selection of domestication and post-domestication breeding, the …

Floods and droughts are becoming more frequent as a result of climate change and it is
imperative to find ways to enhance the resilience of staple crops to abiotic stresses. This is …

Plant cells regularly encounter hypoxia (low-oxygen conditions) as part of normal growth
and development, or in response to environmental stresses such as flooding. In recent …

Single-cell genomics technologies are ushering in a new research era. In this review, we
summarize the benefits and current challenges of using these technologies to probe the …
