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

The identification and characterization of cis-regulatory DNA sequences and how they
function to coordinate responses to developmental and environmental cues is of paramount …

With the goal of charting plant transcriptional regulatory maps (ie transcription factors (TFs),
cis-elements and interactions between them), we have upgraded the TF-centred database …

As the most widely used herbal medicine in human history and a major defence hormone in
plants against a broad spectrum of pathogens and abiotic stresses, salicylic acid (SA) has …

Cell type-specific gene expression relies on transcription factors (TFs) binding DNA
sequence motifs embedded in chromatin. Understanding how motifs are accessed in …

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 …

Plant hormones are essential for regulating the interactions between plants and their
complex biotic and abiotic environments. Each hormone initiates a specific molecular …

Dynamic environmental changes such as extreme temperature, water scarcity and high
salinity affect plant growth, survival, and reproduction. Plants have evolved sophisticated …

Abstract JASPAR (http://jaspar. genereg. net) is an open-access database of curated, non-
redundant transcription factor (TF)-binding profiles stored as position frequency matrices …

Plant genomes are so highly diverse that a substantial proportion of genomic sequences are
not shared among individuals. The variable DNA sequences, along with the conserved core …
