Background Plant phenotypic data shrouds a wealth of information which, when accurately
analysed and linked to other data types, brings to light the knowledge about the mechanisms …

Detailed and standardized protocols for plant cultivation in environmentally controlled
conditions are an essential prerequisite to conduct reproducible experiments with precisely …

Background Experimental datasets are becoming larger and increasingly complex, spanning
different data domains, thereby expanding the requirements for respective tool support for …

Enabling data reuse and knowledge discovery is increasingly critical in modern science,
and requires an effort towards standardising data publication practices. This is particularly …

The plant-specific, B3 domain-containing transcription factor ABSCISIC ACID INSENSITIVE3
(ABI3) is an essential component of the regulatory network controlling the development and …

The transcription factor LEAFY COTYLEDON1 (LEC1) controls aspects of early embryogenesis
and seed maturation in Arabidopsis thaliana. To identify components of the LEC1 regulon…

Hitherto, most quantitative trait loci of maize growth and biomass yield have been identified
for a single time point, usually the final harvest stage. Through this approach cumulative …

Plant genomics and phenomics represents the most promising tools for accelerating yield
gains and overcoming emerging crop productivity bottlenecks. However, accessing this wealth …

Plant metabolism is characterized by a unique complexity on the cellular, tissue, and organ
levels. On a whole-plant scale, changing source and sink relations accompanying plant …

Crop plants are regularly challenged by a range of environmental stresses which typically
retard their growth and ultimately compromise economic yield. The stress response involves …
