Soil salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses restricting the use of land for agriculture
because it limits the growth and development of most crop plants. Improving productivity …

The volatile plant hormone ethylene regulates many plant developmental processes and
stress responses. It is therefore crucial that plants can precisely control their ethylene …

Plants are essential for life and are extremely diverse organisms with unique molecular
capabilities. Here we present a quantitative atlas of the transcriptomes, proteomes and …

Many organisms evolved strategies to survive desiccation. Plant seeds protect dehydrated
embryos from various stressors and can lay dormant for millennia. Hydration is the key …

The flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana is a dicot model organism for research in many
aspects of plant biology. A comprehensive annotation of its genome paves the way for …

Arabidopsis thaliana is a long established model species for plant molecular biology,
genetics and genomics, and studies of A. thaliana gene function provide the basis for …

Summary The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR) is a continuously updated, online
database of genetic and molecular biology data for the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana that …

Infectious disease is both a major force of selection in nature and a prime cause of yield loss
in agriculture. In plants, disease resistance is often conferred by nucleotide-binding leucine …

A big challenge in current systems biology research arises when different types of data must
be accessed from separate sources and visualized using separate tools. The high cognitive …

Abstract Trehalose 6-phosphate (Tre6P), the intermediate of trehalose biosynthesis, is an
essential signal metabolite in plants, linking growth and development to carbon status. The …
