Plants, unlike animals, exhibit a very high degree of plasticity in their growth and
development and employ diverse strategies to cope with the variations during diurnal cycles …

Intron retention (IR) is a form of alternative splicing that has long been neglected in
mammalian systems although it has been studied for decades in non-mammalian species …

The central dogma (CD) of molecular biology is the transfer of genetic information from DNA
to RNA to protein. Major CD processes governing genetic flow include the cell cycle, DNA …

Although alternative splicing is a ubiquitous co‐transcriptional gene regulatory mechanism
in plants, animals and fungi, its contribution to evolutionary transitions is understudied …

Plant metabolism, including primary metabolism such as tricarboxylic acid cycle, glycolysis,
shikimate and amino acid pathways as well as specialized metabolism such as biosynthesis …

Alternative splicing is an important regulatory process that produces multiple transcripts from
a single gene, significantly modulating the transcriptome and potentially the proteome …

Simple Summary Environmental stresses adversely affect rice production. Understanding
the molecular responses of rice to these stresses will have an enormous impact on the …

Background Salicaceae species have diverse sex determination systems and frequent sex
chromosome turnovers. However, compared with poplars, the diversity of sex determination …

As a co-transcriptional process, RNA processing, including alternative splicing and
alternative polyadenylation, is crucial for the generation of multiple mRNA isoforms. RNA …

The activities of RNA polymerases shape the epigenetic landscape of genomes with
profound consequences for genome integrity and gene expression. A fundamental event …
