Sparse Tensor Decomposition for Haplotype Assembly of Diploids and Polyploids
BMC Genomics, 2017 Haplotype assembly is the task of reconstructing haplotypes of an individual from a mixture of sequenced chromosome fragments. Haplotype information enables studies of the effects of genetic variations on an organism’s phenotype. Most of the mathematical

Differential regulation of gene products in newly synthesized allotetraploids is not related to protein function nor subcellular localization [PDF]
, 2007 Background Allopolyploidy is a preeminent process in plant evolution that results from the merger of distinct genomes in a common nucleus via inter-specific hybridization.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wheat stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, Pst) poses a catastrophic threat to global food security. While MADS‐box transcription factors regulate development and abiotic stress, their roles in plant‐pathogen immunity remain enigmatic.

Phylogenetic relationships in Betula (Betulaceae) based on AFLP markers [PDF]
, 2008 The genus Betula comprises various species in boreal and temperate climate zones of the Northern Hemisphere. The taxonomy of Betula is controversial and complicated by parallel evolution of morphological traits, polyploidization events, and extensive ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wheat is one of the globally important food crops, but its genetically modified application lags behind other staple crops due to its complex genome and low transformation efficiency. Normally, traditional transgenic and gene‐edited wheat requires multiple selfing generations for obtaining homozygous lines, which delayed the development of ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Stomata are microscopic pores that regulate the exchange of CO2 and water vapour, making them a major target for engineering plants with improved intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE). Proof‐of‐concept studies have demonstrated the potential to increase iWUE by reducing stomatal density (SD) and stomatal conductance (gsw) by ubiquitously ...

Plastid Engineering for Photosynthesis‐Driven Synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid in Tobacco
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan composed of alternating units of N‐acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid. High moisture retention, viscoelasticity and biocompatibility are unique features that make HA polymers attractive compounds for medical applications and aesthetic purposes.

TaRIP2 Positively Regulates Wheat Pollen Wall Formation Through MYB80‐Controlled Lipid Metabolism
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Male‐sterile genes and mutants are critical for hybrid seed production in monocotyledonous crops. Lipids are essential structural components of male reproductive organs, such as the anther and pollen. Here, we show that the pollen‐preferential gene TaRIP2 is essential for wheat anther development and pollen formation. RT‐qPCR analysis revealed
