Responses of late embryogenesis-abundant genes in Leymus chinensis to water deficit
Leymus chinensis is a perennial rhizome grass that has diverse environmental adaptations. Late embryogenesis-abundant (LEA) proteins play important roles in abiotic stress response processes involved in the prote...

Open AccessDe novo transcriptomic profiling of the clonal Leymus chinensis response to long-term overgrazing-induced memory
Sheepgrass (Leymus chinensis) is one of the dominant grass species present on typical steppes of the Inner Mongolia Plateau. However, L. chinensis has developed a dwarfing phenotype in response to the stressful h...

Open AccessIdentification of the WRKY gene family and functional analysis of two genes in Caragana intermedia
WRKY transcription factors, one of the largest families of transcriptional regulators in plants, play important roles in plant development and various stress responses. The WRKYs of Caragana intermedia are still ...

Calmodulin-binding protein CBP60g is a positive regulator of both disease resistance and drought tolerance in Arabidopsis
Calmodulin-binding proteins (CBPs) have been known to be involved in both biotic and abiotic stress responses. Recently, two closely related CBPs, Arabidopsis SAR Deficient 1 and CBP60g, were found to belong to a...
