The transition from vegetative to reproductive growth is controlled by day length in many
plant species. Day length is perceived in leaves and induces a systemic signal, called …

Protein coding genes are transcribed by Polymerase II, under the control of short discrete
DNA elements in promoters and enhancers, recognized with high efficiency and specificity …

Transcription factor binding across the genome is regulated by DNA sequence and
chromatin features. However, it is not yet possible to quantify the impact of chromatin context …

The adult mammalian heart is incapable of regeneration following injury. In contrast, the
neonatal mouse heart can efficiently regenerate during the first week of life. The molecular …

The three most important agronomic traits of rice (Oryza sativa), yield, plant height, and
flowering time, are controlled by many quantitative trait loci (QTLs). In this study, a newly …

When unfolded proteins accumulate in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), transcription of
glucose-regulated proteins (GRPs) representing ER-resident molecular chaperones is …

Rice yield and heading date are two distinct traits controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTLs).
The dissection of molecular mechanisms underlying rice yield traits is important for …

Grain size is one of the essential components determining rice yield and is a target for both
domestication and artificial breeding. Gibberellins (GAs) are diterpenoid phytohormones that …

Transcription of genes encoding molecular chaperones and folding enzymes in the
endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is induced by accumulation of unfolded proteins in the ER. This …

The presentation of peptides to T cells by MHC class II molecules is of critical importance in
specific recognition by the immune system. Expression of class II molecules is exquisitely …
