TL;DR: A Plant ceRNA database is developed which contains potential ceRNA target-target, and ce RNA target-mimic pairs from 26 plant species, and users can use PceRBase to predict novel competing mimic-target and target–target interactions from their own data.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a member of the IMP family from Arabidopsis, myoinositol monophosphatase-like2 (IMPL2; encoded by At4g39120), has histidinol-phosphate phosphatase activity and is the HISN7 gene product, which suggests a lack of genetic redundancy at this metabolic step in Arabidops, which is characteristic of the His biosynthetic pathway.

TL;DR: The current state of the understanding of the molecular basis of Ni hyperaccumulation in plants is reviewed, with an emphasis on insights gained from recent RNA-Seq experiments, to highlight commonalities and differences between Nihyperaccumulators, and suggest potential future avenues of research in this field.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the molecular mechanisms underlying photomorphogenic development may also function in desiccation tolerance in poikilochlorophyllous resurrection plants.

TL;DR: RNA-Seq analysis indicated that putative homologues of transporters associated with root iron uptake in plants are expressed at elevated levels in roots and shoots of hyperaccumulating populations of S. coronatus from both evolutionary lineages, and it is hypothesised that Nihyperaccumulation in this species may have evolved through recruitment of these transporators, which play a role in the iron-deficiency response in other plant species.
