The thickening of Zizania latifolia shoots, referred to as gall formation, depends on infection
with the fungal endophyte Ustilago esculenta. The swollen and juicy shoots are a popular …

Key message We report a transcriptome assembly and expression profiles from RNA-Seq
data and identify genes responsible for culm gall formation in Zizania latifolia induced by …

The smut fungus Ustilago esculenta infects Zizania latifolia and induces stem expansion to
form a unique vegetable named Jiaobai. Although previous studies have demonstrated that …

Background Cytokinin activates transcriptional cascades important for development and the
responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Most of what is known regarding cytokinin …

In this report we define the genes of two-component regulatory systems in rice through a
comprehensive computational analysis of rice (Oryza sativa L.) genome sequence …

Background Cytokinins play many essential roles in plant growth and development, mainly
through signal transduction pathways. Although the cytokinin signaling pathway in rice has …

Summary LONELY GUY (LOG) was first identified in a screen of rice mutants with defects in
meristem maintenance. In plants, LOG codes for cytokinin riboside 5′‐monophosphate …

Rice is an important staple food grain consumed by most of the population around the world.
With climate and environmental changes, rice has undergone a tremendous stress state …

Cytokinin is widely involved in the regulation of plant growth, but its pathway-related genes
have not been reported in Moso bamboo. In this study, a total of 129 candidate sequences …

Two-component signaling elements play important roles in plants, including a central role in
cytokinin signaling. We characterized two-component elements from the monocot rice …
