TL;DR: The identified genes include classes of defensins, thionins, lipid transfer proteins, and snakins, plus other protease inhibitors, pollen allergens, and uncharacterized gene families, and it is estimated that these classes of genes account for approximately 2-3% of the gene repertoire of each model species.

TL;DR: Functional genomics was used to investigate global gene expression and metabolic responses of bean plants grown under P-deficient and P-sufficient conditions and candidate genes have been identified that may contribute to root adaptation to P deficiency and be useful for improvement of common bean.

TL;DR: The TIGR Plant Transcript Assemblies (TA) database uses expressed sequences collected from the NCBI GenBank Nucleotide database for the construction of transcript assemblies, which includes all plant species for which more than 1000 EST or cDNA sequences are publicly available.

TL;DR: High-throughput qRT-PCR using a 384-well plate format enables rapid, flexible, and sensitive quantification of all predicted Medicago transcription factor mRNAs.

TL;DR: The microbial protein interaction database (MPIDB) aims to collect and provide all known physical microbial interactions.
