Polyploidy has been hypothesized to be both an evolutionary dead-end and a source for
evolutionary innovation and species diversification. Although polyploid organisms …

Salinity is a major abiotic stress limiting growth and productivity of plants in many areas of
the world due to increasing use of poor quality of water for irrigation and soil salinization …

The flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana is a dicot model organism for research in many
aspects of plant biology. A comprehensive annotation of its genome paves the way for …

Zea mays is an important genetic model for elucidating transcriptional networks.
Uncertainties about the complete structure of mRNA transcripts limit the progress of research …

Advances in genome sequencing and assembly technologies are generating many high-
quality genome sequences, but assemblies of large, repeat-rich polyploid genomes, such as …

Background Alternative splicing (AS) is a widespread regulatory mechanism in multicellular
organisms. Numerous transcriptomic and single-gene studies in plants have investigated AS …

Alternative splicing (AS) of precursor mRNAs (pre-mRNAs) from multiexon genes allows
organisms to increase their coding potential and regulate gene expression through multiple …

Main conclusion There is a need to integrate conceptual framework based on the current
understanding of salt stress responses with different approaches for manipulating and …
