Analysis of gene expression data is widely used in transcriptomic studies to understand
functions of molecules inside a cell and interactions among molecules. Differential co …

Triterpenes with complex scaffold modifications are widespread in the plant kingdom.
Limonoids are an exemplary family that are responsible for the bitter taste in citrus (eg …

Stilbene synthase (STS) is the key enzyme leading to the biosynthesis of resveratrol.
Recently we reported two R2R3-MYB transcription factor (TF) genes that regulate the …

Abstract R2R3-MYB transcription factors (TFs) belong to a large and functionally diverse
protein superfamily in plants. In this study, we explore the evolution and function of this …

Limonoids are natural products made by plants belonging to the Meliaceae (Mahogany) and
Rutaceae (Citrus) families. They are well known for their insecticidal activity, contribution to …

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is a species well known for its adaptation to radiation. However,
photomorphogenic factors related to UV-B responses have not been molecularly …

MYB transcription factor (TF) is one of the largest TF families and regulates defense
responses to various stresses, hormone signaling as well as many metabolic and …

Abstract Background Transcription factors (TFs) are proteins that can bind to DNA
sequences and regulate gene expression. Many TFs are master regulators in cells that …

Gene co-expression has been widely used to hypothesize gene function through guilt-by
association. However, it is not clear to what degree co-expression is informative, whether it …
