Brassinosteroids(BRs)are important regulators that control myriad aspects of plant growth and development,including biotic and abiotic stress responses,such that modulating BR homeostasis and signaling presents abunda...
The cytological work was supported by the CEITEC 2020(LQ1601)project.
Local adaptation of plants along environmental gradients provides strong evidence for clinal evolution mediated by natural selection. Plants have developed diverse strategies to mitigate stress, for example, drought e...
the Monti Sibillini National Park for having funded this research, within the project “Censimento della coturnice (Alectoris graeca orlandoi) nel Parco Nazionale dei Monti Sibillini”
Over the last several decades,the Mediterranean region has been subjected to mountain abandonment and farming cessation,leading to changes in vegetation and coenological features of grasslands,contextually to the stro...

Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV;genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae) is a causal pathogen of sugarcane mosaic disease, and it is widespread in regions where sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids) is grown. It is difficult to...
The rice Wsi18 promoter confers drought-inducible gene expression. This property makes it a useful candidate to drive relevant genes for developing drought resistant traits for different monocot crops. In this study, ...

Several temperate cereals need vernalization to promote flowering. Little, however, is known about the vernalization-memory-related genes, and almost no comparative analysis has been performed. Here, RNA- Seq was used...
Southwestern China is abundant in a large species diversity of grasses and Brachypodium sylvaticum var. breviglume is unquestionably appropriate to serve as an ideal model to investigate the adaptation, evolution and ...
Dear Editor, In the past few years, the use of sequence-specific nucle- ases for efficient targeted mutagenesis has provided plant biologists with a powerful new approach for understanding gene function and developin...
Plant responses to drought are regulated by complex genetic and epigenetic networks leading to rapid reprogramming of plant growth, miRNAs have been widely indicated as key players in the regulation of growth and deve...
The drought-tolerant grass Brachypodium distachyon is an emerging model species for temperate grasses and cereal crops. To explore the usefulness of this species for drought studies, a reproducible in vivo drought ass...
