The ease and throughput of single-cell genomics have steadily improved, and its current
trajectory suggests that surveying single-cell populations will become routine. We discuss …

Genome sequencing is widely recognized as a fundamental pillar in genetic research and
legal studies of biological phenomena, providing essential insights for genetic investigations …

For sessile plants, gene expression plays a pivotal role in responding to salinity stress by
activating or suppressing specific genes. However, our knowledge of genetic variations …

Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) represent the interactions between transcription factors
(TF) and their target genes. Plant GRNs control transcriptional programs involved in growth …

Climate change, particularly drought and heat stress, may slash agricultural productivity by
25.7% by 2080, with maize being the hardest hit. Therefore, unraveling the molecular nature …

Background Allele-specific expression (ASE) refers to the preferential expression of one
allele over the other and contributes to adaptive phenotypic plasticity. Here, we used a …

Climate change-induced heat stress combines two challenges: high day-and nighttime
temperatures, and physiological water deficit due to demand-side drought caused by …

Polyploidy is a prominent mechanism of plant speciation and adaptation, yet the mechanistic
understandings of duplicated gene regulation remain elusive. Chromatin structure dynamics …

Silk of maize (Zea mays L.) contains diverse metabolites with complicated structures and
functions, making it a great challenge to explore the mechanisms of metabolic regulation …

When plants respond to drought stress, dynamic cellular changes occur, accompanied by
alterations in gene expression, which often act through trans-regulation. However, the …
