Global warming causes a range of negative impacts on plants especially due to rapid
changes in temperatures, alterations of rainfall patterns, floods or drought conditions, and …

Soil flooding creates composite and complex stress in plants known as either submergence
or waterlogging stress depending on the depth of the water table. In nature, these stresses …

The flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana is a dicot model organism for research in many
aspects of plant biology. A comprehensive annotation of its genome paves the way for …

Plants have an extraordinary diversity of transcription machineries, including five nuclear
DNA-dependent RNA polymerases. Four of these enzymes are dedicated to the production …

Ribosome profiling, which involves the deep sequencing of ribosome-protected mRNA
fragments, is a powerful tool for globally monitoring translation in vivo. The method has …

Sugars have a central regulatory function in steering plant growth. This review focuses on
information presented in the past 2 years on key players in sugar-mediated plant growth …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory RNA molecules that inhibit the expression of
specific target genes by binding to and cleaving their messenger RNAs or otherwise …

Alternative splicing is commonly believed to be a major source of cellular protein diversity.
However, although many thousands of alternatively spliced transcripts are routinely detected …

Peptides fulfill a plethora of functions in plant growth, development, and stress responses.
They act as key components of cell-to-cell communication, interfere with signaling and …

Deep transcriptome sequencing has revealed the existence of many transcripts that lack
long or conserved open reading frames (ORFs) and which have been termed long non …
