Solanum tuberosum L. DNA sequences containing simple sequence repeat (SSR) motifs
were extracted from the EMBL database, cDNA and selectively enriched small-insert DNA …

The decline of available fossil fuel reserves has triggered world-wide efforts to develop
alternative energy sources based on plant biomass. Detailed knowledge of the relations of …

The zinc hyperaccumulator plant Arabidopsis halleri is able to naturally accumulate 100‐fold
higher leaf zinc concentrations when compared with non‐accumulator species such as the …

PCR-based markers were developed from mononucleotide simple-sequence repeats in the
chloroplast genome of Nicotiana tabacum and applied to the analysis of genetic diversity. …

Plant growth and development are tightly linked to primary metabolism and are subject to
natural variation. In order to obtain an insight into the genetic factors controlling biomass and …

Heterosis has been widely used in agriculture to increase yield and to broaden adaptability
of hybrid varieties and is applied to an increasing number of crop species. We performed a …

… plant populations requires methods with increased precision and accuracy in phenotypic
trait acquisition paired with decreased labor input as achieved by automation, remote control …

GPR37 (also known as Pael-R) and GPR37L1 are orphan G protein-coupled receptors that
are almost exclusively expressed in the nervous system. We screened these receptors for …

A major goal of the life sciences is to understand how molecular processes control phenotypes.
