High-throughput sequencing for transcript profiling in plants has revealed that alternative
splicing (AS) affects a much higher proportion of the transcriptome than was previously …

Plants display exquisite control over gene expression to elicit appropriate responses under
normal and stress conditions. Alternative splicing (AS) of pre-mRNAs, a process that …

Light and temperature are arguably two of the most important signals regulating the growth
and development of plants. In addition to their direct energetic effects on plant growth, light …

The circadian clock of Arabidopsis thaliana controls many physiological and molecular
processes, allowing plants to anticipate daily changes in their environment. However …

Plants enter their reproductive phase when the environmental conditions are favourable for
the successful production of progeny. The transition from vegetative to reproductive phase is …

The circadian clock of plants allows them to cope with daily changes in their environment.
This is accomplished by the rhythmic regulation of gene expression, in a process that …

RNA–protein interaction is an important checkpoint to tune gene expression at the RNA
level. Global identification of proteins binding in vivo to mRNA has been possible through …

Highlights•Alternative splicing (AS) acts as 'molecular thermometer'in plants.•Key flowering
time and circadian clock regulatory genes undergo temperature dependent AS.•Splicing …

Plants exhibit an enormous phenotypic plasticity to adjust to changing environmental
conditions. For this purpose, they have evolved mechanisms to detect and measure biotic …

Shade-avoiding plants can detect the presence of neighboring vegetation and evoke
escape responses before canopy cover limits photosynthesis. Rapid stem elongation …
