Abstract. Most cultivated lettuce varieties have 27-hour circadian clocks resulting from domestication-driven selection for delayed bolting yet are grown u

Circadian changes in chromatin accessibility—how loosely or tightly DNA is packaged—temporally regulate the expression levels of rhythmic genes in soybeans

Abstract. Identity plays a major role in academia, with an important interplay between personal identities and the development of a “scientific identity.”

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...

Plants display a wide range of life spans and aging rates. Although dynamic changes to DNA methylation are a hallmark of aging in mammals, it is unclear whether similar molecular signatures reflect ra...

Differences in regulatory DNA shape gene expression diversity of duplicated genes in soybean, with patterns across cells within a tissue and across tissues

A better understanding of circadian rhythms in crop plants can help improve agricultural production, say University of Melbourne experts

Life on Earth evolved in environmental conditions that fluctuate with a daily cycle. Organisms from all kingdoms of life, including plants and their a…

Os agroquímicos possuem um papel importante na maximização da produção agrícola. Herbicidas são uma classe de agroquímicos usados no controle de plantas daninhas e no manejo de algumas culturas duran...

Understanding the capacity of forests to adapt to climate change is of pivotal importance for conservation science, yet this is still widely unknown. This knowledge gap is particularly acute in high-b...

Plant survival in a warmer world requires the timely adjustment of biological processes to cyclical changes in the new environment. Circadian oscillators have been proposed to contribute to thermal ...

A long- and short-read barley pan-transcriptome assembled from 20 diverse barley genotypes offers insights into genotype- and tissue-dependent gene expression and function.

Circadian clocks provide a biological measure of time that coordinates metabolism, physiology and behaviour with 24 h cycles in the environment. Circadian systems have a variety of characteristic prop...

A deleterious mutation in the tomato transcription factor SSP2 was enriched during domestication. Repairing the deleterious mutation in cultivated tomato by base editing leads to compact growth and ea...
