Abstract ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL5 (HY5), a member of the bZIP transcription factor
family, inhibits hypocotyl growth and lateral root development, and promotes pigment …

Plant nitrate transporters were first identified and functionally characterized more than 20
years ago. They are encoded at least by four gene families, NRT1 (NPF), NRT2, CLC, and …

The deployment of heterosis in the form of hybrid rice varieties has boosted grain yield, but
grain quality improvement still remains a challenge. Here we show that a quantitative trait …

For decades, transposable elements have been known to produce a wide variety of changes
in plant gene expression and function. This has led to the idea that transposable element …

Plants maximize their fitness by adjusting their growth and development in response to
signals such as light and temperature. The circadian clock provides a mechanism for plants …

Circadian clocks are endogenous timekee** networks that allow organisms to align their
physiology with their changing environment and to perform biological processes at the most …
