Metabolomics now plays a significant role in fundamental plant biology and applied
biotechnology. Plants collectively produce a huge array of chemicals, far more than are …

Plants produce diverse specialized metabolites (SMs), but the genes responsible for their
production and regulation remain largely unknown, hindering efforts to tap plant …

Multicellular organs are composed of distinct cell types with unique assemblages of
translated mRNAs. Here, ribosome-associated mRNAs were immunopurified from specific …

Progress in improving abiotic stress tolerance of crop plants using classic breeding and
selection approaches has been slow. This has generally been blamed on the lack of reliable …

Gene co‐expression analysis has emerged in the past 5 years as a powerful tool for gene
function prediction. In essence, co‐expression analysis asks the question 'what are the …
