- 1From: BMC Plant Biology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GS) strongly influence the bread-making quality of bread wheat. These proteins are encoded by a multi-gene family located at the Glu-A3, Glu-B3 and Glu-D3 loci on...
- 2From: BMC Plant Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Breeding programs for the water lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) are hampered by an inability to account for variation in seed set associated with crosses between different cultivars. We studied seed set in two...
- 3From: BMC Plant Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground R genes are a key component of genetic interactions between plants and biotrophic bacteria and are known to regulate resistance against bacterial invasion. The most common R proteins contain a...
- 4From: BMC Plant Biology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Many flowering plants produce bicellular pollen. The two cells of the pollen grain are destined for separate fates in the male gametophyte, which provides a unique opportunity to study genetic interactions...
- 5From: BMC Plant Biology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) based on linkage disequilibrium (LD) provide a promising tool for the detection and fine mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) underlying complex agronomic traits....
- 6From: BMC Plant Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Flowering time is an important trait in Brassica rapa crops. FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) is a MADS-box transcription factor that acts as a potent repressor of flowering. Expression of FLC is silenced when...
- 7From: BMC Plant Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Metallothioneins (MT) are low molecular weight, cysteine rich metal binding proteins, found across genera and species, but their function(s) in abiotic stress tolerance are not well documented. Results...
- 8From: BMC Plant Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important regulatory roles in development and stress response in plants. Wild soybean (Glycine soja) has undergone long-term natural selection and may have evolved special...
- 9From: BMC Plant Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Telomeres, as elaborate nucleo-protein complexes, ensure chromosomal stability. When impaired, the ends of linear chromosomes can be recognised by cellular repair mechanisms as double-strand DNA breaks and...
- 10From: BMC Plant Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are one of the functional non-coding small RNAs involved in the epigenetic control of the plant genome. Although plants contain both evolutionary conserved miRNAs and species-specific...
- 11From: BMC Plant Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is an important tree in the Middle East and North Africa due to the nutritional value of its fruit. Molecular Breeding would accelerate genetic improvement of fruit tree...
- 12From: BMC Plant Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The development of drought-tolerant, elite varieties of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a challenging task, which might be achieved by introducing transgenic lines into breeding. We previously...
- 13From: BMC Plant Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The symbiotic interaction between leguminous plants and rhizobia involves two processes: bacterial infection, resulting in the penetration of bacteria in epidermal and cortical cells, and root nodule...
- 14From: BMC Plant Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF5A) promotes formation of the first peptide bond at the onset of protein synthesis. However, the function of eIF5A in plants is not well understood....
- 15From: BMC Plant Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Developmentally regulated programmed cell death (PCD) is the controlled death of cells that occurs throughout the life cycle of both plants and animals. The lace plant (Aponogeton madagascariensis) forms...
- 16From: BMC Plant Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The pollination drop (PD) is a characteristic feature of many wind-pollinated gymnosperms. Although accumulating evidence shows that the PD plays a critical role in the pollination process, the mechanism...
- 17From: BMC Plant Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground There are many non-cereal monocots of agronomic, horticultural, and biofuel importance. Successful transformation of these species requires an understanding of factors controlling expression of their...
- 18From: BMC Plant Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Thellungiella salsuginea is an important model plant due to its natural tolerance to abiotic stresses including salt, cold, and water deficits. Microarray and metabolite profiling have shown that...
- 19From: BMC Plant Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Along the root axis of Arabidopsis thaliana, cells pass through different developmental stages. In the apical meristem repeated cycles of division increase the numbers of cells. Upon leaving the meristem,...
- 20From: BMC Plant Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Somatic embryogenesis (SE), by which somatic cells of higher plants can dedifferentiate and reorganize into new plants, is a notable illustration of cell totipotency. However, the precise molecular...
