As a graduate student, I would root a supermarket-bought basil plant in water to propagate it in order to satisfy my herb-craving needs. In fact, many plan

In nature, plants experience complex combinations of environmental stresses. Prior studies using Arabidopsis thaliana show that transcriptional responses to combinatorial stress are unique and cannot ...

Position Title: Assistant Professor in Seed Pathology Appointment Type: Faculty Job Description: Summary of Duties and Responsibilities: The Department of Plant Pathology, Entomology and Microbiology ...

The transition from seed to seedling requires chromatin reprogramming. By studying the histone variant H2B.8, the authors show that it organizes silent chromatin in dry seeds and reveal that water upt...

A four-dimensional spatial gene expression transcriptome atlas of Hordeum vulgare (barley) grain development and germination revealed tissue, cell, cluster

The authors use single-cell analysis to identify genes specifically expressed in plant root cells that respond to infection by nitrogen-fixing rhizobia. They show that one of these genes, SYMRKL1, is ...

This study of three glandular trichome-producing species (cannabis, hop and tomato) defines tissue-specific transcriptomic atlases for five organs (trichome, flower, leaf, stem and root), providing c...

Strigolactones exhibit a dual action by repressing tillering to indirectly promote barley grain size, while directly repressing grain size later during rep

Seed germination is crucial for agricultural reproduction. A deep understanding of this process can secure healthy growth at the early phases of plant development and therefore the yield. Recent resea...

Research Assistant / Research Associate (Fixed Term) in the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of Cambridge.

The X-linked orange locus is responsible for the orange coat color of domestic cats, including tortoiseshell and calico cats, and is proposed to be subject to random X chromosome inactivation. Here, T...

The generation and analysis of genome-scale data – genomics – is driving a rapid increase in plant biodiversity knowledge. However, the speed and complexity of technological advance in genomics presen...
