TL;DR: Data quality control and analysis procedures presented here provide statistical elements for the estimation of the relative expression of genes using real-time PCR.

TL;DR: This work examines how biotechnology, such as lignin modification, abiotic stress resistance, nutrition usage, in planta expression of cell wall digestion enzymes, biomass production, feedstock establishment, biocontainment of transgenes, metabolic engineering, and basic research, can be used to address the challenges faced by bioenergy crop production.

TL;DR: An integrated genomics approach is proposed to dissect systematically the functional genomics of four gene families in economically important weed species to understand the mechanisms of non-target-site resistance.

TL;DR: The state of plant transformation is reviewed and innovations needed to enable genome editing in crops are pointed to, including a potential game-changer in crop genetics when plant transformation systems are optimized.

TL;DR: Transgenes engineered into annual crops could be unintentionally introduced into the genomes of their free-living wild relatives and have negative ecological consequences.
