Brachypodium as a disease model for cereals (Invited Review)
Fitzgerald et al. discuss the potential of burgeoning brachypodium resources to provide new insights into the host response to infection.
Choosing the correct candidate gene (two Viewpoint papers)
This is an exciting time to study how different non-model species use common developmental genes to create such diversity in the plant world. In many cases researchers tend to identify, within newly available sequences...
Free—open access paper: Evolutionary development of the plant spore and pollen wall
This article provides an overview of the development and structure of spore and pollen walls in the major plant groups and summarises progress in our understanding of the molecular genetics underpinning spore/pollen...
