The role of epistasis in the genetic architecture of quantitative traits is controversial, despite
the biological plausibility that nonlinear molecular interactions underpin the genotype …

Metabolites reflect the integration of gene expression, protein interaction and other different
regulatory processes and are therefore closer to the phenotype than mRNA transcripts or …

A detailed understanding of abiotic stress tolerance in plants is essential to provide food
security in the face of increasingly harsh climatic conditions. Glucosinolates (GLSs) are …

The origin of biological diversity, via the formation of new species, can be inextricably linked
to adaptation to the ecological environment. Specifically, ecological processes are central to …

Plants are fascinating and complex organisms. A comprehensive understanding of the
organization, function and evolution of plant genes is essential to disentangle important …

Wild tomato species represent a rich gene pool for numerous desirable traits lost during
domestication. Here, we exploited an introgression population representing wild desert …

Glucosinolates are secondary defense metabolites produced by plants of the order
Brassicales, which includes the model species Arabidopsis and many crop species. In the …

Sulfur is required for growth of all organisms and is present in a wide variety of metabolites
having distinctive biological functions. Sulfur is cycled in ecosystems in nature where …

Glucosinolates are sulfur-rich secondary metabolites characteristic of the Brassicales order
with important biological and economic roles in plant defense and human nutrition …

A better understanding of the factors that contribute to the overall grain quality of rice (Oryza
