This revision of the APG classification considers the extensive recent analyses of hundreds of nuclear and plastid genes for many angiosperm species. Although previous versions of the APG classificat...

In the GmNAC3—GmMYB60—GmCYS20 module, GmNAC3 represses the transcription factor gene GmMYB60 and GmMYB60 suppresses the cysteine biosynthetic gene GmCYS20. GmCYS20-mediated cysteine metabolism feeds ...

Phytoene desaturase (PDS; EC 1.3.5.5) is a key enzyme of the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway, catalyzing the desaturation of phytoene, precursor of all carotenoids. In this study, several PDS-knockou...

Molecular Ecology is an international journal for research using molecular genetic techniques to address questions in ecology, evolution, behavior and conservation.

Incipient species often coexist in sympatry before complete reproductive isolation has evolved between them. How do they persist in the face of hybridization and gene flow? The challenge is more…

Drought limits carbon gain in crops, yet the functional role of bulliform cells in regulating gas exchange and water-use efficiency remains unclear. Here, we tested whether natural variation in bulli....

Pedo-climatic context and soil management co-determine soil physical properties across ten European long-term field experiments. The ratios (1:3 and 1:8) illustrate that pedo-climatic conditions expl...

Integrative phylogenomics, polyphasic taxonomy, and metagenomics expand the characterized taxonomic diversity of Thermoleophilia. Cultured and uncultivated lineages from desert soils in Xinjiang reve....

This Commentary highlights the finding that an increased post-submergence oxidative burst reprograms plant cysteine oxidase (PCO)—group VII ethylene response factor (ERFVII) oxygen sensing, inhibitin...
