Welcome to BMC Plant Biology published by BioMed Central
BMC Plant Biology is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in all aspects of cellular, tissue-level, organismal, functional and developmental aspects of plants. BMC Plant Biology (ISSN 1471-2229) is indexed/tracked/covered by PubMed, MEDLINE, BIOSIS, CAS, Thomson Scientific (ISI) and Google Scholar.

Variation in pollen allergenicity between different olive cultivars is linked to sequence polymorphisms in the pollen gene Ole e 1, suggesting that varietal origin of olive pollen is a major factor driving diversity in this gene.

Multiple cis-regulatory elements in the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) promoter of Flaveria trinervia enhance mesophyll-specific PEPC expression in leaves and provides an insight into the molecular changes responsible for this PEPC expression pattern, characteristic of C4 plants.
