Open AccessDeep sequencing reveals the complex and coordinated transcriptional regulation of genes related to grain quality in rice cultivars
Milling yield and eating quality are two important grain quality traits in rice. To identify the genes involved in these two traits, we performed a deep transcriptional analysis of develo** seeds using both ...

Open AccessTranscriptome profiling of the rice blast fungus during invasive plant infection and in vitro stresses
Rice blast is the most threatening disease to cultivated rice. Magnaporthe oryzae, its causal agent, is likely to encounter environmental challenges during invasive growth in its host plants that require shifts i...

Allelic genome structural variations in maize detected by array comparative genome hybridization
DNA polymorphisms such as insertion/deletions and duplications affecting genome segments larger than 1 kb are known as copy-number variations (CNVs) or structural variations (SVs). They have been recently stud...

Transposable Element Regulation in Rice and Arabidopsis: Diverse Patterns of Active Expression and siRNA-mediated Silencing
Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA segments that can mediate or cause movement within genomes. We performed a comprehensive, whole-genome analysis of annotated TEs in rice (Oryza sativa L.) and Arabidopsis thali...

Whole genome scan detects an allelic variant of fad2 associated with increased oleic acid levels in maize
We used whole genome scan association map** to identify loci with major effect on oleic acid content in maize kernels. Single nucleotide polymorphism haplotypes at 8,590 loci were tested for association with...

Open AccessA set of multiplex panels of microsatellite markers for rapid molecular characterization of rice accessions
This study aimed to analyze the efficiency of three new microsatellite multiplex panels, which were designed to evaluate a total of 16 loci of the rice genome, based on single PCR reactions of each panel. A sa...
