Germination vigor is driven by the ability of the plant embryo, embedded within the seed, to
resume its metabolic activity in a coordinated and sequential manner. Studies using “-omics” …

In agricultural cropping systems, relatively large amounts of nitrogen (N) are applied for
plant growth and development, and to achieve high yields. However, with increasing N …

We report the first annotated chromosome-level reference genome assembly for pea, Gregor
Mendel's original genetic model. Phylogenetics and paleogenomics show genomic …

Timing of seed germination is one of the key steps in plant life cycles. It determines the
beginning of plant growth in natural or agricultural ecosystems. In the wild, many seeds …

Although amino acids are critical for all forms of life, only proteogenic amino acids that
humans and animals cannot synthesize de novo and therefore must acquire in their diets …

Legumes are well recognized for their nutritional and health benefits as well as for their
impact in the sustainability of agricultural systems. The threatening scenario imposed by …

The development of orthodox seeds concludes by a desiccation phase. The dry seeds then
enter a phase of dormancy, also called the after-ripening phase, and become competent for …

In most plant species, amino acids are the predominant chemical forms in which nitrogen is
transported. However, in nodulated tropical or subtropical legumes, ureides are the main …

We have assembled a proteome map for Arabidopsis thaliana from high-density, organ-
specific proteome catalogs that we generated for different organs, developmental stages …

Next‐generation sequencing technologies allow an almost exhaustive survey of the
transcriptome, even in species with no available genome sequence. To produce a Unigene …
