BMC Plant Biology 2011, 11:163Systems biology approaches to abiotic stress
Grant Cramer and colleagues review the role of systems biology in the study of plant responses to abiotic stresses and discuss the future directions for research in this area.

BMC Plant Biology 2011, 11:160Rice response to raised temperature
Orthologs of the rice Xa3/Xa26 disease-resistance gene are transcriptionally induced at raised temperatures, leading to the formation of temperature-sensitive lesions, suggesting their involvement in rice temperature sensing rather than resistance to Xanthomonas sp. infection.

BMC Plant Biology 2011, 11:129GmNAC6 signals soybean cell death
Glycine max NAC6 (GmNAC6), a NAC domain-containing protein from soybean, requires both endoplasmic reticulum- and osmotic-stress for full activation and may act downstream of the N-rich proteins in the cell death signaling pathway.

Quote
"I strongly believe in the internet and open-access publishing in order to achieve scientific outreach both within academia and outside academia. Open-access allows anyone in the world with access to a computer to access scientific research. These innovative journals are becoming extremely successful and will change the nature of scientific publishing and increase the accessibility of science."
