A naturally occurring variant in the Arabidopsis core clock gene EARLY FLOWERING 3 alters temperature responsiveness and has been selected for in regions o

Plants perceive neighboring vegetation through an enrichment of far-red light (shade) in the environment. These changes in light quality trigger molecular and physiological responses aimed at outgrowi...

This study identifies epidermal patterning factor (EPF)-processing proteinases as the key activators of EPF1 and EPF2 peptides, establishing their proteolytic processing as the critical missing link f...

Peptides are sequenced by converting each amino acid into amplifiable DNA barcodes.

Abstract. Circadian rhythms are endogenous 24 h cycles that allow organisms to anticipate daily environmental changes. In plants, circadian timing is maint

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Carella Group at the John Innes Centre, working on cutting-edge science in the field of Evo-MPMI (Evolutionary Molecular…

Spatially resolved gene expression during barley development was done by integrating an scRNA-seq dataset from cells with unknown position with spatial transcriptomics. This dataset is publicly availa...

Translation is a key regulatory point in the control of gene expression. This review provides an overview of the translation process and molecular machinery that underlie it, highlights the major cis...

Background Open chromatin regions host DNA regulatory motifs that are accessible to transcription factors and the transcriptional machinery. In Arabidopsis, responses to light are heavily regulated at...

A global drop in public and private investment in agricultural science in the past four decades is partly to blame for high food prices, an analysis reveals.

Obtaining foreign DNA-free crops after genome editing is essential for agricultural applications, because of the current regulatory policies on gene-edited plants in various countries. However, it is ...

Major study finds world's most productive farming regions are especially vulnerable to rising temperatures, and face steep declines in agricultural output this century.

Plastids can sense environmental stress and improve whole plant adaptation through retrograde communication to the nucleus. Recent studies have advanced our understanding of integrated canonical and ...
