Evolution of intron-poor clades and expression patterns of the glycosyltransferase family 47

A large-scale bioinformatics analysis revealed the origin and evolution of GT47 gene family, and identified two clades of intron-poor genes with putative functions in drought stress responses and seed development in maize. Glycosyltransferase family …

A systems approach to a spatio-temporal understanding of the drought stress response in maize

Crops are often subjected to periods of drought stress during their life cycle. However, how stress response mechanisms contribute to the crosstalk between stress signaling pathways and developmental signaling pathways is still unknown. We built a …

Massive expansion and differential evolution of small heat shock proteins with wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) polyploidization

Wheat (Triticum aestivum), one of the world's most important crops, is facing unprecedented challenges due to global warming. To evaluate the gene resources for heat adaptation in hexaploid wheat, small heat shock proteins (sHSPs), the key plant heat …

Machine learning-based differential network analysis: a study of stress-responsive transcriptomes in Arabidopsis

Machine learning (ML) is an intelligent data mining technique that builds a prediction model based on the learning of prior knowledge to recognize patterns in large-scale data sets. We present an ML-based methodology for transcriptome analysis via …
