TL;DR: A draft sequence of the rice genome for the most widely cultivated subspecies in China, Oryza sativa L. ssp.indica, by whole-genome shotgun sequencing is produced, with a large proportion of rice genes with no recognizable homologs due to a gradient in the GC content of rice coding sequences.

TL;DR: Five genes that contribute to disease resistance in Arabidopsis are identified by identifying interaction domains for 200 proteins from stressed and developing tissues by localizing the cognate genes to regions of stress-tolerance trait genetic loci.

TL;DR: 3 unexpected, missing CNSs and a large insertion support subfunctionalization as a reflection of fractionation of cis-acting gene space and the recent evolution of lg2's novel maize leaf and shoot developmental functions.

TL;DR: Of the 3,954-probe sets that correspond to the QTL intervals, very few had a differential expression pattern between the high OA and low OA lines that suggest a role leading to the phenotypic variation, however, several promising candidates were identified for each of the five QTL including a snRNP auxiliary factor, a LEA protein, a protein phosphatase 2C and a Sar1 homolog.

TL;DR: The presently disclosed subject matter relates to methods and compositions for identifying, selecting, and/or producing drought tolerant maize plants or germplasm as mentioned in this paper, which have been identified, selected, and or produced by any of the methods of the presently disclosing subject matter.
