BACKGROUND Rheum nobile is an alpine plant with translucent bracts concealing the inflorescence which produce a "glasshouse" effect promoting the development of fertile pollen grains in such conditions. The current understanding of the adaptation of such bracts to alpine environments mainly focuses on the phenotypic and physiological changes while the genetic basis is very limited. By sequencin...

Trehalose (a-D-glucosyl-[1,1]-a-D-glucopyranoside) is involved in mechanisms that coordinate metabolism with plant growth adaptation and development. The main objective of the current work was to find out whether trehalose feeding affects the expression of two genes involved in photosynthesis: one gene coding for photosystem1 subunit H (PS1-H) and the other for the light harvesting complex B1 (...

Wheat stem rust disease caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici ( Pgt ) is a global threat to wheat production. Fast evolving populations of limit the efficacy plant genetic resistance and constrain management strategies. Understanding molecular mechanisms that lead infection susceptibility could deliver novel strategies deploy crop through loss susceptibility. We used comparative transcript...

Pineapple [ Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.] is the most economically important crop possessing crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis which has a higher water use efficiency by control of nocturnal opening and diurnal closure stomata. To provide novel insights into diel regulatory landscape in pineapple leaves, we performed genome-wide mapping DNase I hypersensitive sites (DHSs) leaves at...

Targeting first neighbours and adding interactive protein to investigate the direct indirect influence of neighbour genes is an important novel technique used in cancer studies. Weighing on basis topological analysis methods for essential proteins identification multi-omics data useful predicting significant interactions such investigations. A similar approach can also be adopted help target sp...

Biotic stress constrains plant productivity in natural and agricultural ecosystems. Repression of photosynthetic genes is a conserved plant response to biotic attack, but how this transcriptional reprogramming is linked to changes in photosynthesis and the transition from growthto defense-oriented metabolism is poorly understood. Here, we used a combination of noninvasive chlorophyll fluorescen...
