Transcription factors (TFs) regulate the expression of genes at the transcriptional level.
Modification of TF activity dynamically alters the transcriptome, which leads to metabolic and …

Plants can assimilate inorganic nitrogen (N) sources to organic N such as amino acids. N is
the most important of the mineral nutrients required by plants and its metabolism is tightly …

The transcription factor OsNAC5 in rice is a member of the plant-specific NAC family that
regulates stress responses. Expression of OsNAC5 is induced by abiotic stresses such as …

Xylan, a hemicellulosic component of the plant cell wall, is one of the most abundant
polysaccharides in nature. In contrast to dicots, xylan in grasses is extensively modified by α …

Omics and bioinformatics are essential to understanding the molecular systems that underlie
various plant functions. Recent game-changing sequencing technologies have revitalized …

Economically important crops, such as maize, wheat, rice, barley, and other food crops are
affected by even small changes in water potential at important growth stages. Developing a …

Understanding cellular metabolic systems is vital not only for determining the function of
enzymatic genes, but also for elucidating the coordination among various metabolic …

Recent remarkable innovations in platforms for omics-based research and application
development provide crucial resources to promote research in model and applied plant …

Calcium acts as a messenger in various signal transduction pathways in plants. Calcium-
dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) play important roles in regulating downstream …

In transcriptome analysis, accurate annotation of each transcriptional unit and its expression
profile is essential. A full-length cDNA (FL-cDNA) collection facilitates the refinement of …
