The study of biological systems relies to a large extent on DNA cloning technologies
enabling the analysis of recombinant genes through transgenic research. In this context, the …

Plant biotechnologists seek to modify plants through genetic reprogramming, but our ability
to precisely control gene expression in plants is still limited. Here, we review transcription …

Pheophytin a is an essential component of oxygenic photosynthetic organisms because the
primary charge separation between chlorophyll a and pheophytin a is the first step in the …

Plant microRNAs (miRNAs) affect only a small number of targets with high sequence
complementarity, while animal miRNAs usually have hundreds of targets with limited …

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a long-lasting broad-spectrum plant defense
mechanism induced in distal systemic tissues by mobile signals generated at the primary …

Cytokinin fulfills its diverse roles in planta through a series of transcriptional responses. We
identify the in vivo DNA binding site profiles for three genetically redundant type-B …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are vital for plant immunity and regulation of their
production is crucial for plant health. While the mechanisms that elicit ROS production have …

Environmental stresses profoundly altered accumulation of nonsense mRNAs including
intron-retaining (IR) transcripts in Arabidopsis. Temporal patterns of stress-induced IR …

Protein ubiquitination is a dynamic and reversible post‐translational modification that
controls diverse cellular processes in eukaryotes. Ubiquitin‐dependent internalization …

The manipulation of the posttranscriptional gene silencing phenomenon known as RNA
interference (RNAi), demonstrated more than a decade ago in the genetic model systems …
