Plants produce and accumulate triacylglycerol (TAG) in their seeds as an energy reservoir to
support the processes of seed germination and seedling development. Plant seed oils are …

The ability of a seed to germinate and establish a plant at the right time of year is of vital
importance from an ecological and economical point of view. Due to the fragility of these …

Transcription factors (TFs) bind DNA at specific sequences to regulate gene expression.
This universal process is achieved via their DNA-binding domain (DBD). In mammals, the …

How specificity is conferred within gene regulatory networks is an important problem in
biology. The basic helix–loop–helix PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTORs (PIFs) and …

Vegetable crops benefit from seed priming technology by their low volume and high value.
Early sowing of vegetables under suboptimal environments is practised often to fetch better …

Allopolyploidization, resulting in divergent genomes in the same cell, is believed to trigger a
“genome shock”, leading to broad genetic and epigenetic changes. However, little is …

Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L. Czern and Coss) is an important oil and vegetable crop
frequently affected by seasonal drought stress during seed germination, which retards plant …

DNA-binding with one finger (Dof) transcription factors play a crucial role in plant abiotic
stress regulatory networks, although massive Dofs have been systematically characterized …

DNA binding with one finger (Dof) gene family is a class of transcription factors which play
an important role on plant growth and development. Genome-wide identification results …

Coordinated transcriptional regulation of stress-responsive genes orchestrated by a
complex network of transcription factors (TFs) and the reprogramming of metabolism ensure …
