A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant ...

More than 2.3 million ancient genetic switches discovered in plants reveal how key growth controls endured 300 million years ...

Plant genomics researchers stand at a crossroads. Behind them are the completed genome sequences of rice 1 and the model mustard plant Arabidopsis thaliana. 2 Now, armed with insights gained from both ...

Scientists discovered 2.3 million conserved non-coding sequences—some hundreds of millions of years old—using Conservatory, a new comparative plant genomics platform.

Recent research findings indicate that many of the plant pathogens affecting agriculture today originated during an earlier era than originally believed. Analysis performed by an international team ...

Medicinal plants produce a wide range of bioactive compounds, yet the genetic and evolutionary mechanisms underlying their ...

2 pioneering plant genomics efforts given a funding boost by National Science Foundation Cold Spring Harbor, NY – With research in plant biology "at a tipping point," in the words of a leading ...

Aromatic medicinal plants derive their therapeutic value from complex mixtures of volatile compounds, yet the genetic logic that shapes these chemical profiles has long remained elusive.

In recent years, scientists have shown that parents can pass down more than just their DNA sequences to their offspring; they can also pass down epigenetic marks like chemical tags or structural ...
