Double-stranded RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) is a simple and rapid method of
silencing gene expression in a range of organisms. The silencing of a gene is a …

NAC proteins constitute one of the largest families of plant-specific transcription factors, and
the family is present in a wide range of land plants. Here, we summarize the biological and …

Although several plant microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play a role in plant
development, no phenotype has yet been associated with a reduction or loss of expression …

Upon seed imbibition, abscisic acid (ABA) levels decrease to allow embryos to germinate
and develop into seedlings. However, under abiotic stress conditions, ABA levels remain …

Virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a recently developed gene transcript suppression
technique for characterizing the function of plant genes. The approach involves cloning a …

Although great progress has been made towards understanding the role of abscisic acid
(ABA) and sucrose in fruit ripening, the mechanisms underlying the ABA and sucrose …

With the recent availability of complete genomic sequences of many organisms, high-
throughput and cost-efficient systems for gene cloning and functional analysis are in great …

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is an important tool for the analysis of gene function in
plants. In VIGS, viruses engineered to carry sequences derived from plant gene transcripts …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a vital phytohormone that regulates mainly stomatal aperture and
seed development, but ABA receptors involved in these processes have yet to be …

Cold signals interact with other environmental cues to modulate plant developmental
processes. Recent studies have shown that many Pathogenesis‐Related (PR) genes are …
