Unravelling root endosymbiosis gene function

An artificial microRNA (amiR)-mediated gene silencing system for Medicago truncatula roots sheds light on the function of MtErf1, a putative transcription factor that is strongly induced in arbuscule-containing cells during mycorrhizal symbiosis.

Transcriptome resources for pine

Generation and quality assessment of assembled transcriptome resources for lodgepole pine and jack pine identifies a number of monoterpene synthase-like genes involved in host defence against insect pests and fungal pathogens.

Soybeans resist nematode attack

Expression of Arabidopsis PAD4 (PHYTOALEXIN-DEFICIENT4) in soybean roots confers resistance to two different genera of nematodes, highlighting a potential role for defense signaling genes in quantitative disease resistance in this economically important crop.

Genetics through the grapevine

Evaluating the genetic diversity and population structure among wild, domesticated, and hybrid grape cultivars using microsatellite and SNP markers in a large germplasm collection reveals consistent inter- and intraspecific levels of germplasm stratification with four ancestral subpopulations.

Uncovering a mosaic species

Leaves displaying marked variation in herbivore defence from a single phenotypically mosaic Eucalyptus tree reveal many genes that are differentially expressed between the two chemotypes, and evidence of a genetic ‘master switch’ controlling these traits.

Scope

BMC Plant Biology is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of plant biology, including molecular, cellular, tissue, organ and whole organism research.

It is journal policy to publish work deemed by peer reviewers to be a coherent and sound addition to scientific knowledge and to put less emphasis on interest levels, provided that the research constitutes a useful contribution to the field.
