Plants interact with their environment by modifying gene expression patterns. One
mechanism for this interaction involves epigenetic modifications that affect a number of …

Flowering is the most critical transition period in the whole lifecycle of plants, and it is a
highly sensitive period to stress. New combinations of temperature, drought stress, carbon …

Chia, Salvia hispanica L., was well developed into a cultivated crop and an important
component of Mesoamerican cultures and nutrition. Early Mesoamerican breeders produced …

Glioblastoma (GBM) is both the most common and the most lethal primary brain tumor. It is
thought that GBM stem cells (GSCs) are critically important in resistance to therapy …

Recognized as a pivotal developmental transition, flowering marks the continuation of a
plant's life cycle. Vernalization and photoperiod are two major flowering pathways …

UGT707B1 is a new glucosyltransferase isolated from saffron (Crocus sativus) that localizes
to the cytoplasm and the nucleus of stigma and tepal cells. UGT707B1 transcripts were …

Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary brain malignancy and confers
a dismal prognosis. GBMs harbor glioblastoma-initiating cells (GICs) that drive …

Plants require optimum environmental conditions to grow, develop, and reproduce. Abiotic
and biotic stresses have direct, negative effects on the biochemical and physiological …

Abstract Background Methyl-CpG-binding domain (MBD) proteins play important roles in
epigenetic gene regulation, and have diverse molecular, cellular, and biological functions in …

Pollen exine is composed of finely‐organized nexine, bacula and tectum, and is crucial for
pollen viability and function. Pollen exine development involves a complicated molecular …
