GRAS genes belong to a gene family of transcription regulators that function in the
regulation of plant growth and development. Our knowledge about the expansion and …

The progress in plant breeding for salinity stress tolerance is handicapped by the lack of
understanding of the specificity of salt stress signalling and adaptation at the cellular and …

Background Salinity-alkalinity stress is one of the major factors limiting rice production.
Damage caused by alkaline salt stress is more severe than that caused by neutral salt …

Abstract Plant hormones, cytokinins (CKs), have been for a long time considered to be
involved in plant responses to stress. However, their exact roles in processes linked to stress …

Ubiquitination is one of the most abundant types of protein post‐translational modification
(PTM) in plant cells. The importance of ubiquitination in the regulation of many aspects of …

The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) allows plants to effectively and efficiently alter their
proteome so as to ensure developmental plasticity and environmental adaptation. Recent …

WD40 proteins play a crucial role in diverse protein-protein interactions by acting as
scaffolding molecules and thus assisting in the proper activity of proteins. Hence, systematic …

Background Reference genes are widely used to normalise transcript abundance data
determined by quantitative RT-PCR and microarrays. However, the approaches taken to …

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is the second most widely grown legume worldwide and is the
most important pulse crop in the Indian subcontinent. Chickpea productivity is adversely …

With the existence of large publicly available plant gene expression data sets, many groups
have undertaken data analyses to construct gene coexpression networks and functionally …
