Cells, Genes & Molecules In Brief

Plants remember how much warmer than usual it was last year

Stress memories using epigenetics are helping plants adapt to climate change.

Cells, Genes & Molecules In Brief

How does it feel?

Plants might not feel pain as such, but they need a way to get damage signals around their body. A new study uncovers some of the process.

Plant hormones to help prevent Striga invasion

Blocking the biosynthesis of canonical strigolactones by TIS108, a specific enzyme inhibitor, significantly lowered Striga infestation without affecting rice growth.

Botanists discover not all clones are the same, it depends on how you make them

A study of Paspalum species native to South America shows that while clones can expand a plant’s range, the method a parent uses to clone itself will impact how the population develops.

A flow diagram showing the three sequential steps of cageminer candidate gene prioritization. In the first step, all genes within a sliding window relative to each SNP are selected as putative candidates. In the second step, cageminer performs an enrichment analysis and find candidates from step 1 that co-occur in modules enriched in guide genes. The third step selects candidate genes from step 2 correlated with conditions of interest.
