The comparative transcriptome analysis of two green super rice genotypes with varying tolerance to salt stress
Salinity is one of the main abiotic factors that restrict plant growth, physiology, and crop productivity is salt stress. About 33% of the total irrigated land suffers from severe salinity because of intensive...

Open AccessRNAseq of diverse spring wheat cultivars released during last 110 years
Here, we performed RNA-seq based expression analysis of root and leaf tissues of a set of 24 historical spring wheat cultivars representing 110 years of temporal genetic variations. This huge 130 tissues RNAse...

Comprehensive insights into the regulatory mechanisms of lncRNA in alkaline-salt stress tolerance in rice
Alkaline-salt is one of the abiotic stresses that slows plant growth and developmental processes and threatens crop yield. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are endogenous RNA found in plants that engage in a var...

CRISPR/Cas9 editing of wheat Ppd-1 gene homoeologs alters spike architecture and grain morphometric traits
Mutations in Photoperiod-1 (Ppd-1) gene are known to modify flowering time and yield in wheat. We cloned TaPpd-1 from wheat and found high similarity among the three homoeologs of TaPpd-1. To clarify the characte...

In Silico Dissection and Expression Analysis of Sucrose Synthase Gene Family in Sugarcane
Sugarcane, the world’s largest source of sugar and biofuel, still carries an unassembled ~ 10 GB polyaneuploid genome, which is a major bottleneck in studying this crop at molecular level. Sugar is mainly deri...

Open AccessGenome-wide identification, phylogeny, and expression profiling analysis of shattering genes in rapeseed and mustard plants
Non-synchronized pods shattering in the Brassicaceae family bring upon huge yield losses around the world. The shattering process was validated to be controlled by eight genes in Arabidopsis, including SHP1, SHP2

RNA interference-mediated knockdown of odorant-binding protein 2 and MP58 gene causes mortality in Myzus persicae
The objective of the study was to find out odorant-binding protein 2 and salivary protein MP58 as potential RNAi targets in Myzus persicae. These potential targets were confirmed by reverse transcriptase polymera...

Intron-containing hairpin RNA interference vector for OBP8 show promising mortality in peach potato aphid
Myzus persicae is a devastating pest affecting potato production. Intron-containing hairpin RNA (ihpRNA) silenced the odorant-binding protein 8 (OBP8) for enhanced protection against Myzus persicae in potatoes. O...

Homotypic Clusters of Transcription Factor Binding Sites in the First Large Intron of AGL24 MADS-Box Transcription Factor Are Recruited in the Enhancement of Floral Expression
The occurrence of homotypic clusters of transcription factor binding sites (HCTs) and their contribution to regulatory evolution is documented in animals, but their manifestation in regulating plant genome exp...

WsMAGO2, a duplicated MAGO NASHI protein with fertility attributes interacts with MPF2-like MADS-box proteins
WsMAGO2 a duplicated protein in Withania through interactions with MPF2-like proteins affects male fertility by producing fewer flowers and aborted non-viable pollens/seeds regulated by anther-...

Genetic Improvement of Sugarcane for Drought and Salinity Stress Tolerance Using Arabidopsis Vacuolar Pyrophosphatase (AVP1) Gene
Sugarcane plant is a glycophyte, hence its growth and sucrose contents are severely affected by drought and salinity stresses. Bioengineering approaches offer a plausible and rapid solution to mitigate these l...

Functional evolution of cis-regulatory modules of STMADS11 superclade MADS-box genes
Evolution of phenotypic morphologies is closely associated with modular organization of cis-regulatory elements underlying expression divergence. The MADS-box gene family is the subject of extensive studies that ...

Article
Divergences of MPF2-like MADS-domain proteins have an association with the evolution of the inflated calyx syndrome within Solanaceae
The inflated calyx syndrome (ICS) is a post-floral novelty within Solanaceae. Previous work has shown that MPF2-like MADS-box genes have been recruited for the development and evolution of ICS through heterotopic...

Open AccessThe MADS-domain protein MPF1 of Physalis floridana controls plant architecture, seed development and flowering time
Floral and vegetative development of plants is dependent on the combinatorial action of MADS-domain transcription factors. Members of the STMADS11 subclade, such as MPF1 of Physalis, are abundantly expressed in l...

High frequency shoot regeneration and Agrobacterium-mediated DNA transfer in Canola (Brassica napus)
Five different varieties of Brassica napus (Cyclone, Dunkled, Oscar, Rainbow and KS75) were tested for their regeneration response. Cyclone showed a very high frequency of regeneration (92%). The use of silver ni...
