TL;DR: Genomic studies have further revealed that light induces massive reprogramming of the plant transcriptome, and that the early light-responsive genes are enriched in transcription factors, and these combined approaches provide new insights into light-regulated transcriptional networks.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated thatcallus resembles the tip of a root meristem, even if it is derived from aerial organs such as petals, which clearly shows that callus formation is not a simple reprogramming process backward to an undifferentiated state as widely believed.

TL;DR: Analysis of genome-level responses to drought and high-salinity stress in rice suggested that rice might possess a mechanism that actively detects rehydration and facilitates rapid recovery, supporting a notion that organ-specific gene regulation in response to the two abiotic stresses may primarily be mediated by organ- specific transcription responses.

TL;DR: A cell type transcriptome atlas that includes 40 cell types from rice (Oryza sativa) shoot, root and germinating seed at several developmental stages is produced, providing patterns of cell specificity for individual genes and gene classes.

TL;DR: Organ-specific expression profiles during seedling photomorphogenesis provide genome-level evidence for divergent light effects in different higher plant organs and overrepresentation of specific promoter motifs in root- and leaf-specific light-regulated genes in both species suggests that these cis-elements are important for gene expression responses to light.
