Comprehensive Survey of ChIP-Seq Datasets to Identify Candidate Iron Homeostasis Genes Regulated by Chromatin Modifications
Vital biochemical reactions including photosynthesis to respiration require iron, which should be tightly regulated. Although increasing evidence reveals the importance of epigenetic regulation in gene express...

Monitoring rice anther proteome expression patterns during pollen development
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) pollen grains are highly sensitive to extreme temperatures. Studies on the proteomic analysis of pollen at different developmental stages are limited. In this study, to identify proteins ex...

Quantitative shotgun proteomic analysis of cold-stressed mature rice anthers
Rice crops are vulnerable to low temperatures. During development, the reproductive stage is particularly sensitive to cold exposure, which causes abnormal pollen development and a high degree of male sterilit...

Analysis of quantitative trait loci associated with seed germination and coleoptile length under low temperature condition
Low temperature stress will lower the germination rate of rice, reduce its growth, and delay the emergence of rice seedlings from paddy water surface, resulting in decreased seedling and mortality. Here, we co...

Open AccessDefining the genome structure of `Tongil' rice, an important cultivar in the Korean "Green Revolution"
Tongil (IR667-98-1-2) rice, developed in 1972, is a high-yield rice variety derived from a three-way cross between indica and japonica varieties. Tongil contributed to the self-sufficiency of staple food producti...

Open AccessAnalysis of segregation distortion and its relationship to hybrid barriers in rice
Segregation distortion (SD) is a frequently observed occurrence in map** populations generated from crosses involving divergent genotypes. In the present study, ten genetic linkage maps constructed from reci...

Morphological and genetic characterization of off-type rice plants collected from farm fields in Korea
Off-type rice plants occurring in farm fields cause yield loss due to competition with cultivated rice, in addition to hindering field management and harvest work. This study aimed to observe the agronomic cha...

A novel HSI2 mutation in Arabidopsis affects the PHD-like domain and leads to derepression of seed-specific gene expression
Two related B3 domain transcriptional repressors, HSI2 (HIGH-LEVEL EXPRESSION OF SUGAR-INDUCIBLE GENE2)/VAL1 (VP1/ABI3-LIKE1) and HSL1 (HSI2-LIKE1)/VAL2, function redundantly to repress key transcriptional reg...

Teosinte Branched 1 modulates tillering in rice plants
Tillering is an important trait of cereal crops that optimizes plant architecture for maximum yield. Teosinte Branched 1 (TB1) is a negative regulator of lateral branching and an inducer of female inflorescence f...

Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolase genes in cotton and their role in fiber elongation
Plant cell wall extensibility is mediated, in part, by xyloglucan endotransglycosylases/hydrolases (XTH) that are able to cleave and reattach xyloglucan polymers that make up the hemicelluloses matrix of type ...

OsZIP5 is a plasma membrane zinc transporter in rice
Zinc is essential for normal plant growth and development. To understand its transport in rice, we characterized OsZIP5, which is inducible under Zn deficiency. OsZIP5 complemented the growth defect of a yeast Zn...

Functional analysis of cotton orthologs of GA signal transduction factors GID1 and SLR1
Gibberellic acid (GA) is both necessary and sufficient to promote fiber elongation in cultured fertilized ovules of the upland cotton variety Coker 312. This is likely due to the temporal and spatial regulatio...

Arabidopsis metallothioneins 2a and 3 enhance resistance to cadmium when expressed in Vicia faba guard cells
The Arabidopsis metallothionein genes AtMT1andAtMT2confer Cd(II) resistance to Cd(II)-sensitive yeast, but it has not been directly shown whether they or other metallothioneins provide the same protection to plan...
