In soybeans, faster canopy coverage (CC) is a highly desirable trait but a fully covered canopy is unfavorable to light interception at lower levels in the canopy with most of the incident radiation intercepte...

A fundamental task in systems biology is to quantify the contributions of the systems’ parts and their interactions. Here I describe a powerful concept and tool for this purpose: network reconstitution. Genoty...

Protocol
Plant disease resistance (R) proteins confer strong resistance against pathogens by recognizing particular pathogen effectors. Identification of proteins associated with an R protein will provide insight into ...
Article
Large biological data sets, such as expression profiles, benefit from reduction of random noise. Principal component (PC) analysis has been used for this purpose, but it tends to remove small features as well ...

Chapter
Generally speaking, systems biology research in plants has not reached an advanced stage, a situation largely due to the low level of funding for basic plant research. There are two major reasons for this. Fir...

Data does not appear to be in short supply in contemporary biology. The development of high-throughput technologies, in particular, has generated massive amounts of information. While these technologies produc...
Chapter and Conference Paper
One of the common responses in disease resistance defined by the “gene-for-gene” interaction is the hypersensitive response (HR), which is a rapid and localized cell death of plants at the site of infection. T...
Chapter
Effective plant defense responses against particular pathogens often involve a one-for-one correspondence between an avirulence (avr) gene in the pathogen and a resistance gene in the host [1]. Resistance genes a...
Article
We have isolated and characterized a tobacco gene, designated G13, encoding a leucine zipper DNA-binding protein related to the transcription activator TGA1a. The G13 coding region is divided into eight exons ...
Article
THE 35S promoter of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) contains a tandem repeat of the sequence TGACG in the region −83 to −63. This 21-base pair (bp) sequence, called as-1, is involved in root expression of the...
