Open AccessGenome-wide nucleotide patterns and potential mechanisms of genome divergence following domestication in maize and soybean
Plant domestication provides a unique model to study genome evolution. Many studies have been conducted to examine genes, genetic diversity, genome structure, and epigenome changes associated with domesticatio...

Open AccessCorrection to: Genome-wide discovery and characterization of maize long non-coding RNAs
The original version [1] of this article unfortunately contained a mistake. The additive effects of the eQTLs of lncRNAs were flipped, meaning that the base allele in the contrast to derive the additive effect...

Open AccessSubstantial contribution of genetic variation in the expression of transcription factors to phenotypic variation revealed by eRD-GWAS
There are significant limitations in existing methods for the genome-wide identification of genes whose expression patterns affect traits.

Article
Meristems take their cues from organ primordia
Stem cell regulation is critical to the development of all multicellular organisms; in plants, stem cell niches reside in meristems. Two newly identified plant genes establish a novel signaling feedback from t...

Open AccessLeaves of grass: focusing phenomics on maize leaf growth
The detailed analysis of leaf growth dynamics, when coupled with transcriptomic research, can facilitate the discovery of genes required for leaf elongation.

Open AccessGenome-wide discovery and characterization of maize long non-coding RNAs
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts that are 200 bp or longer, do not encode proteins, and potentially play important roles in eukaryotic gene regulation. However, the number, characteristics and ex...

Mutagenesis by Transitive RNAi
Transitive RNAi is a posttranscriptional mechanism of gene silencing that is based on the phenomenon of “transitivity.” This term refers to the spreading of silencing outside of the initial target sequence and...
