Transcriptomics technologies
TL;DR: The first attempts to study the whole transcriptome began in the early 1990s, and technological advances since the late 1990s have made transcriptomics a widespread discipline as mentioned in this paper, which has enabled the study of how gene expression changes in different organisms and has been instrumental in the understanding of human disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellulose Synthase-Like CslF Genes Mediate the Synthesis of Cell Wall (1,3;1,4)-ß-d-Glucans

TL;DR: Comparison genomics has used comparative genomics to link a major quantitative trait locus for (1,3;1,4)-β-d-glucan content in barley grain to a cluster of cellulose synthase–like CslF genes in rice.

TL;DR: The pineapple lineage has transitioned from C3 photosynthesis to CAM, with CAM-related genes exhibiting a diel expression pattern in photosynthetic tissues, providing the first cis-regulatory link between CAM and circadian clock regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvement of stress tolerance of wheat and barley by modulation of expression of DREB⁄CBF factors
Sarah Morran,Omid Eini,Tatiana Pyvovarenko,Boris Parent,Rohan Singh,Ainur Ismagul,Serik Eliby,Neil J. Shirley,Peter Langridge,Sergiy Lopato +9 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the possibility of modulating the transcriptional regulation of drought and cold responses in the agriculturally important species, wheat and barley, with a view to increase drought and frost tolerance shows improved survival under severe drought conditions and a significant improvement in frost tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The CesA gene family of barley. Quantitative analysis of transcripts reveals two groups of co-expressed genes
TL;DR: Two groups of genes fall into two general groups of three genes with respect to mRNA abundance, and the co-expression of the groups identifies their products as candidates for the rosettes that are involved in cellulose biosynthesis at the plasma membrane.
