Melon exhibits substantial natural variation especially in fruit ripening physiology, including
both climacteric (ethylene-producing) and non-climacteric types. However, genomic …

Main conclusion This review will provide evidence for the indispensable function of these
elements in regulating plant development and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, as …

Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic elements that were once perceived as
merely selfish, but are now recognized as potent agents of adaptation. One way TEs …

Being sessile organisms, plants are exposed to multiple stimuli without possibility for
escape. Therefore, plants have evolved to be able to adapt their developmental and …

Because of the promising results obtained by machine learning (ML) approaches in several
fields, every day is more common, the utilization of ML to solve problems in bioinformatics. In …

Exposure of plants to stress conditions or to certain chemical elicitors can establish a primed
state, whereby responses to future stress encounters are enhanced. Stress priming can be …

Background Transposable elements (TE) make up a large portion of many plant genomes
and are playing innovative roles in genome evolution. Several TEs can contribute to gene …

Transposable elements (TEs) are self-replicating DNA elements that constitute major
fractions of eukaryote genomes. Their ability to transpose can modify the genome structure …

Retroviruses and closely related LTR retrotransposons export full-length, unspliced genomic
RNA (gRNA) for packaging into virions and to serve as the mRNA encoding GAG and POL …

Chromatin is not a uniform macromolecular entity; it contains different domains
characterized by complex signatures of DNA and histone modifications. Such domains are …
