Background The immobile nature of plants means that they can be frequently confronted by
various biotic and abiotic stresses during their lifecycle. Among the various abiotic stresses …

Abiotic stresses triggered by climate change and human activity cause substantial
agricultural and environmental problems which hamper plant growth. Plants have evolved …

Background Accurate and comprehensive annotation of transcript sequences is essential for
transcript quantification and differential gene and transcript expression analysis. Single …

Evolutionary processes have evolved plants to cope with several different natural stresses.
Basic physiological activities of crop plants are significantly harmed by these stresses …

Plants have evolved numerous molecular strategies to cope with perturbations in
environmental temperature, and to adjust growth and physiology to limit the negative effects …

ABSTRACT RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis of gene expression and alternative
splicing should be routine and robust but is often a bottleneck for biologists because of …

Modifications of the cellular proteome pool upon stress allow plants to tolerate
environmental changes. Alternative splicing is the most significant mechanism responsible …

Remarkable progress has been made in elucidating important roles of plant non-coding
RNAs. Among these RNAs, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have gained widespread …

Background Alternative splicing (AS) may generate multiple mRNA splicing isoforms from a
single mRNA precursor using different splicing sites, leading to enhanced diversity of …

Low temperature (LT) is an important factor limiting plant growth and distribution. Plants
have evolved sophisticated adaptive mechanisms to cope with hypothermia. RNA silencing …
