This model illustrates how alleles of modifier and modified genes affect penetrance, dominance modification, expressivity and pleiotropy, and modulate the phenotypes of mutant organisms. Throughout ...

• Background and Aims Basic information about the root and root nodule structure of leguminous crop plants is incomplete, with many aspects remaining unresolved. Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) forms root ...

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that differs between plant organs and tissues, but the extent of variation between cell types is not known. Here, we report single-base-resolution ...

An international team of scientists has unraveled the mysterious relationship between gravity, and the growth trajectories of ...

After a gene is transcribed into RNA, modifications can occur to the subunits or "bases" that make up the RNA molecule, which can affect its structure and function. The study of these changes is known ...
