Starch Synthase 3 isoforms are essential for normal starch granule initiation in wheat endosperm
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Wheat grains have two distinct types of starch granules. Large, lenticular A‐type granules are formed from a single initiation per amyloplast during early grain development, while numerous small B‐type granules are initiated during later grain development.

Dichotomy in the NRT gene families of dicots and grass species.
PLoS ONE, 2010 A large proportion of the nitrate (NO(3)(-)) acquired by plants from soil is actively transported via members of the NRT families of NO(3)(-) transporters.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Saffron, a high‐value spice cultivated worldwide for its therapeutic and culinary uses, is a sterile triploid species, rendering conventional breeding approaches ineffective. This limitation underscores the need for molecular and biotechnological strategies for its genetic improvement. Flowering, a key determinant of saffron yield, is strongly

Evolutionary divergence and limits of conserved non-coding sequence detection in plant genomes
, 2013 The discovery of regulatory motifs embedded in upstream regions of plants is a particularly challenging bioinformatics task. Previous studies have shown that motifs in plants are short compared with those found in vertebrates.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Salinity stress can cause significant yield losses in crops because of its major impact on reproductive success. The complexity of salinity stress responses, particularly their tissue‐ and cell‐specific regulation, continues to challenge the translation of molecular insights into tangible crop yield improvements.
