The central dogma in biology defines the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to
protein. Accordingly, RNA molecules generally accurately follow the sequences of the genes …

Plant organellar RNA metabolism is run by a multitude of nucleus-encoded RNA-binding
proteins (RBPs) that control RNA stability, processing, and degradation. In chloroplasts and …

Advances in genomics have expedited the improvement of several agriculturally important
crops but similar efforts in wheat (Triticum spp.) have been more challenging. This is largely …

INTRODUCTION Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most widely cultivated crop on Earth,
contributing about a fifth of the total calories consumed by humans. Consequently, wheat …

Ferns are the closest sister group to all seed plants, yet little is known about their genomes
other than that they are generally colossal. Here, we report on the genomes of Azolla …

Hornworts, liverworts and mosses are three early diverging clades of land plants, and
together comprise the bryophytes. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the …

Rye (Secale cereale L.) is an exceptionally climate-resilient cereal crop, used extensively to
produce improved wheat varieties via introgressive hybridization and possessing the entire …

Beyond their well-known role in respiration, mitochondria of land plants contain biologically
essential and/or agriculturally important genes whose function and regulation are not fully …

Seed germination is crucial for the life cycle of plants and maximum crop production. This
critical developmental step is regulated by diverse endogenous [hormones, reactive oxygen …

RNA editing by cytidine (C) to uridine (U) conversions is widespread in plant mitochondria
and chloroplasts. In some plant taxa,“reverse” U-to-C editing also occurs. However, to date …
