[EN] Nitric oxide (NO) regulates developmental and stress-related plant processes through still largely undefined mechanisms. To study the effect of deficient NO biosynthesis on genome-wide Arabidopsis thaliana transcriptome, ...
[EN] Skin is an important trait for Rex rabbits and skin development is influenced by many processes, including hair follicle cycling, keratinocyte differentiation and formation of coat colour and skin morphogenesis. We ...
[EN] The development of high nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) cultivars under low N inputs is required for sustainable agriculture. To this end, in this study, we analyzed the impact of long-term suboptimal N conditions on ...
Gómez Jiménez, Maria Dolores; Vera Sirera, Francisco José; Perez Amador, Miguel Angel(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2014-08)
[EN] Fruits of angiosperms can be divided into dry and fleshy fruits, depending on their dispersal strategies. Despite their apparently different developmental programmes, researchers have attempted to compare dry and ...
Background: The possibilities offered by next generation sequencing (NGS) platforms are revolutionizing
