The present study supports the view that the retinoblastoma functions are shared by two distinct retinoblastoma-related (RBR) protein subfamilies in the monocot cereal species, whereas dicot plants ...

The mechanism of plant defense mediated by the non-expressor of pathogenesis-related (NPR) genes in monocots (plants having a single embryonic leaf) is not well-documented. Now, scientists have ...

The maize ZmEA1 protein was recently postulated to be involved in short-range pollen tube guidance from the embryo sac. To date, EA1-like sequences had only been identified in monocot species. Using a ...

Scientist Matt Humphry of the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research and his team identified a set of genes regulated by a common protein that has been conserved in the genome of monocot and ...

To identify genes conserved for AMS, we have developed a phylogenomics strategy to identify genes that are present in AMS hosts and absent from genomes of AMS non-host plants. We used a diverse set of ...

this is silent footage from "Seeds: How They Germinate," produced by Coronet Films in 1971, is an 11-minute educational piece that explores the classification, structure, and protection of seeds, as ...

A new technique for grafting plants could increase production and eliminate diseases for some of the world’s most imperilled crops, such as bananas and date palms. Plant grafting, where the root of ...
