Low temperature is one of the most common environmental stresses that seriously affect the
growth and development of plants. However, plants have the plasticity in their defence …

With the completion of genome projects for Arabidopsis thaliana, Oryza sativa and several
other plant species, an increasing number of whole genome sequences are now available for …

Background Members of plant WRKY transcription factor families are widely implicated in
defense responses and various other physiological processes. For canola (Brassica napus L.), …

APETALA2 (AP2) transcription factors (TFs) play very important roles in plant growth and
development and in defense response. Here, we report functional characterization of four AP2 …

… NATs have been identified and classified using genome wide tilling array and RNA-Seq [15].
Similarly, in rice, 3,819 cis-NATs have been identified, among which 503 cis-NATs … of NATs …

Egg storage causes egg white to lose its viscous nature to form a thin liquid, commonly referred
to as egg white thinning. To understand the mechanisms underlying egg white thinning, …

We initiated a proteomics‐based approach to identify root proteins affected by salinity in pea
(Pisum sativum cv. Cutlass). Salinity stress was imposed either on 2‐wk old pea plants by …

Clubroot, caused by the obligate parasite Plasmodiophora brassicae, has emerged as an
important new disease of canola (Brassica napus) in Alberta, Canada. Changes in the root …

Food security is affected by climate change, population growth, as well as abiotic and biotic
stresses. Conventional and molecular marker assisted breeding and genetic engineering …

To investigate molecular changes in canola (Brassica napus L.) accompanying its
interaction with the fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, we investigated pathogen-induced …
