The genome is more than just its sequence; epigenetic features of DNA, like chemical tags that may be attached, or how it's organized and structured, can have a significant impact on gene expression ...

Molecular geneticists have known for about a decade that genomic structural variants can play important roles in the adaptation and speciation of both plants and animals, but their overall influence ...

Functional-Structural Plant Modelling (FSPM) is an integrative simulation framework that couples the physiological processes of plants with their three-dimensional architecture. This approach enables ...

Hot enough for ya? We’ve barely turned the page to July, but we’ve had more than our share of relentless heat. Have you ever wondered how plants cope with heat? It’s not as if they can turn on their ...

Plants rely on efficient internal transport systems to distribute essential mineral nutrients, yet how this distribution is spatially organized within complex plant structures remains poorly ...

Structural variations (SVs)—large-scale changes in DNA sequence—play a crucial role in shaping traits such as yield, quality, and environmental adaptation in crops.

Structural variations (SVs), including insertions, deletions, inversions, and substitutions, can profoundly influence gene ...
