Like all organisms, plants require energy for growth. They achieve this by absorbing light
and fixing it into a usable, chemical form via photosynthesis. The resulting carbohydrate …

Endophytes, which are widely found in host plants and have no harmful effects, are a vital
biological resource. Plant endophytes promote plant growth and enhance plants' resistance …

高通量测序技术是DNA 测序发展历程的一个里程碑, 它为现代生命科学研究提供了前所未有的
机遇. 详细介绍了以454, Solexa 和SOLiD 为代表的第二代高通量测序技术, 以HeliScope TIRM …

Ancient tetraploidies are found throughout the eukaryotes. After duplication, one copy of
each duplicate gene pair tends to be lost (fractionate). For all studied tetraploidies, the loss …

The ability to measure gene expression on a genome-wide scale is one of the most
promising accomplishments in molecular biology. Microarrays, the technology that first …

Plant growth and development are tightly controlled in response to environmental conditions
that influence the availability of photosynthetic carbon in the form of sucrose. Trehalose-6 …

Carbohydrates, or sugars, regulate various aspects of plant growth through modulation of
cell division and expansion. Besides playing essential roles as sources of energy for growth …

Inflorescence architecture of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is common among the Triticeae
species, which bear one to three single-flowered spikelets at each rachis internode. Triple …

Plant development depends on the activity of various types of meristems that generate
organs such as leaves and floral organs throughout the life cycle. Grass species produce …

Transcriptome analysis is a valuable tool for identification and characterization of genes and
pathways underlying plant growth and development. We previously published a microarray …
