Plant biological processes, such as growth and metabolism, hormone signal transduction,
and stress responses, are affected by gene transcriptional regulation. As gene expression …

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 …

Single-cell sequencing has recently allowed the generation of exhaustive root cell atlases.
However, some cell types are elusive and remain underrepresented. Here we use a second …

Seed longevity is a central actor in plant germplasm resource conservation, species
reproduction, geographical distribution, crop yield and quality and food processing and …

Heterosis is extensively used to improve crop productivity, yet its allelic and chromatin
regulation remains unclear. Based on our resolved genomes of the maternal TGY and …

DNA binding-with-one-finger (Dof) proteins are plant-specific transcription factors closely
associated with a variety of physiological processes. Here, we show that the Dof protein …

Seed longevity is a polygenic trait of relevance for agriculture and for understanding the
effect of environment on the ageing of biological systems. In order to identify novel longevity …

Photosynthetic efficiency is the primary determinant of crop yield, including vegetative
biomass and grain yield. Manipulation of key transcription factors known to directly control …

The DOF (DNA binding with one finger) family of plant-specific transcription factors (TF) was
first identified in maize in 1995. Since then, DOF proteins have been shown to be present in …

Upon storage, seeds inevitably age and lose their viability over time, which determines their
longevity. Longevity correlates with successful seed germination and enhancing this trait is …
