TL;DR: A polymorphism prediction method with optimized precision parameters was developed, which allowed the effective detection of small nucleotide variants (SNVs) and could significantly improve bioinformatic pipelines for comparative genomics and thus has great practical potential in genomic metadata handling.

TL;DR: An overview of the current knowledge concerning the mechanisms related to plant gene regulation via miRNAs is provided and an updated overview on the bioinformatic approaches that are available for identification of new mi RNAs and their targets are included.

TL;DR: In insights into the chromosomal characteristics of African Cucumis species, a molecular cytogenetic analysis using FISH with 5S and 45S ribosomal DNA was used and suggested that at least 2 steps of chromosomal rearrangements may have occurred during the evolution of tetraploid C. heptadactylus.

TL;DR: This review of transgenic crops compares its status with the predictions included in Vasil’s forecast published in 2002 and shows that science has provided a wide range of possibilities to modify different traits in plants, yet the economy benefits from that range to very different extents.

TL;DR: It is concluded that cucumber generative organs differ in responsiveness to plant hormones due to the distinct signal transductions that are mediated by protein kinases in male and female organs of the floral buds and shoot apices.
