The identification and characterization of cis-regulatory DNA sequences and how they
function to coordinate responses to developmental and environmental cues is of paramount …

Agrobacterium tumefaciens and related Agrobacterium species have been known as plant
pathogens since the beginning of the 20th century. However, only in the past two decades …

The phenylpropanoid pathway serves as a rich source of metabolites in plants, being
required for the biosynthesis of lignin, and serving as a starting point for the production of …

Axis formation occurs in plants, as in animals, during early embryogenesis. However, the
underlying mechanism is not known. Here we show that the first manifestation of the apical …

Twenty‐five years ago, Arabidopsis thaliana emerged as the model organism of choice for
research in plant biology. A consensus was reached about the need to focus on a single …

MHC class I molecules function to present peptides eight to ten residues long to the immune
system. These peptides originate primarily from a cytosolic pool of proteins through the …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is one of the most important phytohormones involved in abiotic stress
responses, seed maturation, germination, and senescence. ABA is predominantly produced …

The response of Arabidopsis thaliana to low-oxygen stress (hypoxia), such as during shoot
submergence or root waterlogging, includes increasing the levels of∼ 50 hypoxia …

The mutagenic activity of transposable elements (TEs) is suppressed by epigenetic silencing
and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), especially in gametes that could transmit transposed …

Chromosomes are folded, spatially organized, and regulated by epigenetic marks. How
chromosomal architecture is connected to the epigenome is not well understood. We show …
