Legumes are well recognized for their nutritional and health benefits as well as for their
impact in the sustainability of agricultural systems. The threatening scenario imposed by …

Proteomics, the large-scale study of the total complement of proteins in a given sample, has
been applied to all aspects of seed biology mainly using model species such as Arabidopsis …

Next‐generation sequencing technologies allow an almost exhaustive survey of the
transcriptome, even in species with no available genome sequence. To produce a Unigene …

Seed longevity, the maintenance of viability during storage, is a crucial factor for
preservation of genetic resources and ensuring proper seedling establishment and high …

Background The molecular, biochemical, and genetic mechanisms that regulate the
complex metabolic network of soybean seed development determine the ultimate balance of …

The genetic regulation underlying the effect of arsenic (As (III)) on the model symbiosis M

Understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating pea seed developmental process is
extremely important for pea breeding. In this study, we used high-throughput RNA-Seq and …

Background Grape cultivars and wines are distinguishable by their color, flavor and aroma
profiles. Omic analyses (transcripts, proteins and metabolites) are powerful tools for …

The endosperm plays a pivotal role in the integration between component tissues of
molecular signals controlling seed development. It has been shown to participate in the …

Abstract Background Soybean (Glycine max) has been bred for thousands of years to
