TL;DR: The roles of MAPK signaling and calcium signaling are highlighted in the perception of As stress along with phytohormones signaling in stress tolerance and transcription factors involved in regulation of gene expression under As stress are discussed.

TL;DR: CDNA libraries from floral and foliar tissues of Rhododendron arboreum were sequenced to provide a foundation for understanding the functional aspects of the genome and to construct an enriched repository that will promote genomics studies in the genera.

TL;DR: Understanding the degree of and determining the forces influencing the codon usage bias (CUB) in Taxus contorta, an endangered Himalayan gymnosperm, will prove useful in interpreting the evolutionary characteristics of this species.

TL;DR: A reference transcriptome for Taxus contorta is generated which would facilitate the understanding of the functional elements and promote genomic research in this species and a robust polymorphic SSR marker resource was characterized which can be used in conservation of this species.

TL;DR: An RNAseq‐based approach to obtain orthologous genes across the selected species to reconstruct a more robust phylogeny of these families and shows that Amentotaxus and Torreya fit within Cephalotaxaceae, supporting their distinctiveness at the family level.
