La vitesse de fleurissement et la quantité de pétales produits par les plantes à fleurs dépendent d’un mécanisme bien orchestré mais complexe. Des chercheurs sont parvenus à déterminer les acteurs et ...

This study reports a bivalent factor, ULTRAPETALA1, that can counteract as well as promote PRC2 activity at hundreds of developmental genes in Arabidopsis thaliana. The pro-PRC2 activity of ULTRAPETAL...

La situation agricole française n’est plus au bord du gouffre, comme elle pouvait l’être en 2022 : cette fois-ci, elle est dans le gouffre. Il n’est désormais plus inconcevable que nous soyons en trai...

We are now accepting applications to join the Plant Physiology Assistant Features Editor (AFE) program. These are two-year appointments, starting either in January 2027 or 2028. Since 2018…

An intrinsic characteristic of trees from boreal and temperate forest ecosystems is the mutualistic association with soil-borne ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi in their roots. ECM fungi provide trees with...

Investigating how epigenome features contribute to adaptation in plants

Bacteria deactivate the protein synthesis of host cells to hamper immune reactions. This insight could aid in the development of more resistant plants.

Abstract. Non-genetic variability in gene expression is an inevitable consequence of the stochastic nature of processes driving transcription and translati

Many plants, unlike most animals, can reproduce as clones [D. Kester, HortScience 18, 831–837 (1983), 10.21273/hortsci.18.6.831]. Cloning plants is...

Greg was already a world-renowned scientist when appointed Director, and for the community, he was a visionary leader, a cherished mentor, and a singular force of nature whose influence shaped the research landscape.

BMC Biology is calling for submissions to our Collection on Symbiotic relationships. Symbiotic relationships are fundamental interactions between different ...
