WRKY transcription factors are one of the largest families of transcriptional regulators in
plants and form integral parts of signalling webs that modulate many plant processes. Here …

Seed maturation is an important phase of seed development during which embryo growth
ceases, storage products accumulate, the protective tegument differentiates and tolerance to …

Although starch degradation has been well studied in model systems such as Arabidopsis
leaves and cereal seeds, this process in starchy fruits during ripening, especially in …

Main conclusion The structural, functional and in-silico studies of Dof transcription factor
attempted so far reveals immense opportunity to analyze the plant genomes in terms of …

Background Hexaploid wheat is one of the most important cereal crops for human nutrition.
Molecular understanding of the biology of the developing grain will assist the improvement …

Though root architecture modifications may be critically important for improving phosphorus
(P) efficiency in crops, the regulatory mechanisms triggering these changes remain unclear …

GmMYB176 is an R1 MYB transcription factor that regulates multiple genes in the
isoflavonoid biosynthetic pathway, thereby affecting their levels in soybean roots. While …

Wheat grain storage protein (GSP) content and composition are the main determinants of
the end-use value of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain. The accumulation of …

The alternative splicing of select genes is an important mechanism to regulate responses to
endogenous and environmental signals in plants. However, the role of alternative splicing in …

Abstract Key message Wheat NAC-A18 regulates both starch and storage protein synthesis
in the grain, and a haplotype with positive effects on grain weight showed increased …
