Rice was chosen as a model organism for genome sequencing because of its economic
importance, small genome size, and syntenic relationship with other cereal species. We have …

For accurate and reliable gene expression results, normalization of real-time PCR data is
required against a control gene, which displays highly uniform expression in living organisms …

Stress perception and signal transduction leading to tolerance involve a complex interplay
of different gene products. We describe here the isolation and characterization of an …

Chickpea ranks third among the food legume crops production in the world. However, the
genomic resources available for chickpea are still very limited. In the present study, the …

Main conclusion OsJAZ11 regulates phosphate homeostasis by suppressing jasmonic acid
signaling and biosynthesis in rice roots. Abstract Jasmonic Acid (JA) is a key plant signaling …

F-box proteins constitute a large family in eukaryotes and are characterized by a conserved
F-box motif (approximately 40 amino acids). As components of the Skp1p-cullin-F-box …

The basic leucine (Leu) zipper (bZIP) proteins compose a family of transcriptional regulators
present exclusively in eukaryotes. The bZIP proteins characteristically harbor a bZIP domain …

Background MADS-box transcription factors, besides being involved in floral organ
specification, have also been implicated in several aspects of plant growth and development. In …

Cicer arietinum L. (chickpea) is the third most important food legume crop. We have generated
the draft sequence of a desi‐type chickpea genome using next‐generation sequencing …

Recent advances in cereal genomics have made it possible to analyse the architecture of
cereal genomes and their expressed components, leading to an increase in our knowledge of …
