Terrestrial plants have two to four times more ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter genes
than other organisms, including their ancestral microalgae. Recent studies found that plants …

Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are zinc metalloenzymes that catalyze the interconversion of
CO 2 and HCO 3− and are ubiquitous in nature. Higher plants contain three evolutionarily …

INTRODUCTION Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most widely cultivated crop on Earth,
contributing about a fifth of the total calories consumed by humans. Consequently, wheat …

The draft genome of the moss model, Physcomitrella patens, comprised approximately 2000
unordered scaffolds. In order to enable analyses of genome structure and evolution we …

The model plant Physcomitrium patens has played a pivotal role in enhancing our
comprehension of plant evolution and development. However, the current genome harbours …

The development of cells specialized for water conduction or support is a striking innovation
of plants that has enabled them to colonize land. The NAC transcription factors regulate the …

In seed plants, strigolactones (SL s) regulate architecture and induce mycorrhizal symbiosis
in response to environmental cues. SL s are formed by combined activity of the carotenoid …

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are functional non-translated molecules greater than 200
nt. Their roles are diverse and they are usually involved in transcriptional regulation …

During the transition from water to land, plants had to cope with the loss of water through
transpiration, the inevitable result of photosynthetic CO 2 fixation on land [1, 2]. Control of …

Natural products from plants have served mankind in a wide range of applications, such as
medicines, perfumes, or flavoring agents. For this reason, synthesis, regulation and function …
