In the last decade, our understanding of the processes underlying plant response to drought,
at the molecular and whole-plant levels, has rapidly progressed. Here, we review that …

Now that complete genome sequences are available for a variety of organisms, the
elucidation of gene functions involved in metabolism necessarily includes a better …

Metabolomics or the large-scale phytochemical analysis of plants is reviewed in relation to
functional genomics and systems biology. A historical account of the introduction and …

Simple statistical methods for the study of quantitative trait loci (QTL), such as analysis of
variance, have given way to methods that involve several markers and high-resolution …

The recent successes of genome-wide expression profiling in biology tend to overlook the
power of genetics. We here propose a merger of genomics and genetics into 'genetical …

Heat stress is common in most cereal-growing areas of the world. In this paper, we
summarize the current knowledge on the molecular and genetic basis of thermotolerance in …

Three‐week old plants of rice (Oryza sativa L. cv CT9993 and cv IR62266) developed
gradual water stress over 23 days of transpiration without watering, during which period the …

Comparative analysis of a number of studies in drought‐stressed maize (Zea mays L.)
reporting quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for abscisic acid concentration, root characteristics …

The commercialisation of GM crops in Europe is practically non-existent at the present time.
The European Commission has instigated changes to the regulatory process to address the …

Proteome analysis is becoming a powerful tool in the functional characterization of plants.
Due to the availability of vast nucleotide sequence information and based on the progress …
