Advances in plant phenomics: From data and algorithms to biological insights
The measurement of the characteristics of living organisms is referred to as phenotyping (Singh et al., 2016). While the use of phenotyping in plant biology and genetics can be traced back at least to Gregor Mendel sorting and counting peas by shape and pod color 160 years ago, addressing current questions in plant biology, genetics, and […]
Comparative Cell-Specific DNaseI-Seq Reveals Transcription Factor Binding Landscape in C3 and C4 Grasses
Nearly every aspect of growth, morphogenesis, physiology, and stress response is influenced by cell/tissue-type specific gene expression. Transcription factors (TFs) recognize cis-regulatory elements and signal transcription machinery for gene regulation, and the interaction between TFs and their target genes creates spatiotemporal patterns of gene expression. Accurate functional annotation of these regulatory sites is essential for […]
Development and application of genomic resources for comparative and translational genomics in legumes through leveraging genomic sequence of Medicago truncatula
The expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of common bean were BLAST aligned with barred medic genome sequence and developed 1196 conserved intron spanning primers (CISPs) to facilitate genetic studies in legumes. Randomly selected 288 CISPs, representing loci on barrel medic genome, were tested on 10 selected members of legume family. On the source taxa, the highest […]
