The HM1 gene in maize controls both race-specific resistance to the fungus Cochliobolus
carbonum race 1 and expression of the NADPH (reduced form of nicotinamide adenine …

In the Gramineae, the cyclic hydroxamic acids 2,4-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one (DIBOA)
and 2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one (DIMBOA) form part of the defense …

Using a genome-wide approach, we asked how many transporter genes contribute to
symbiotic phosphate uptake and analyzed their evolutionary conservation. Considering the …

The Anther ear1 (An1) gene product is involved in the synthesis of ent-kaurene, the first
tetracyclic intermediate in the gibberellin (GA) biosynthetic pathway. Mutations causing the loss …

Agriculturally advantageous reduction in plant height is usually achieved by blocking the
action or production of gibberellins. Here, we describe a different dwarfing mechanism found in …

Ethylene gas is essential for many developmental processes and stress responses in plants.
ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE2 (EIN2), an NRAMP-like integral membrane protein, plays an …

Glomalean fungi induce and colonize symbiotic tissue called arbuscular mycorrhiza on the
roots of most land plants. Other fungi also colonize plants but cause disease not symbiosis. …

Coexpression networks and gene regulatory networks (GRNs) are emerging as important
tools for predicting functional roles of individual genes at a system-wide scale. To enable …

Stop codons have been exploited for genetic incorporation of unnatural amino acids (Uaas)
in live cells, but their low incorporation efficiency, which is possibly due to competition from …

The root knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, is an obligate parasite that causes significant
damage to a broad range of host plants. Infection is associated with secretion of proteins …
