Given the rapid development of plant genomic technologies, a lack of access to plant
phenotyping capabilities limits our ability to dissect the genetics of quantitative traits …

Drought is one of the most serious production constraint for world agriculture and is
projected to worsen with anticipated climate change. Inter-disciplinary scientists have been …

Cereal grasses of the Triticeae tribe have been the major food source in temperate regions
since the dawn of agriculture. Their large genomes are characterized by a high content of …

Despite the relevance of seed‐filling mechanisms for crop yield, we still have only a
rudimentary understanding of the transport processes that supply the caryopsis with sugars …

Covering: 2000 to 2014 Plant metabolomics has matured and modern plant metabolomics
has accelerated gene discoveries and the elucidation of a variety of plant natural product …

NMR spectroscopy has been applied to cells and tissues analysis since its beginnings, as
early as 1950. We have attempted to gather here in a didactic fashion the broad diversity of …

Seeds develop differently in dicots and monocots, especially with respect to the major
storage organs. High-resolution transcriptome data have provided the first insights into the …

Understanding the way in which plants develop, grow and interact with their environment
requires tools capable of a high degree of both spatial and temporal resolution. Magnetic …

The conventional understanding of the role of the seed coat is that it provides a protective
layer for the developing zygote. Recent data show that the picture is more nuanced. The …

Imaging has long supported our ability to understand the inner life of plants, their
development, and response to a dynamic environment. While optical microscopy remains …
