TLDR
Genevestigator as mentioned in this paper is a web-browser interface for gene expression analysis using Affymetrix GeneChip data, which allows users to retrieve the expression patterns of individual genes throughout chosen environmental conditions, growth stages, or organs.
Abstract
High-throughput gene expression analysis has become a frequent and powerful research tool in biology. At present, however, few software applications have been developed for biologists to query large microarray gene expression databases using a Web-browser interface. We present GENEVESTIGATOR, a database and Web-browser data mining interface for Affymetrix GeneChip data. Users can query the database to retrieve the expression patterns of individual genes throughout chosen environmental conditions, growth stages, or organs. Reversely, mining tools allow users to identify genes specifically expressed during selected stresses, growth stages, or in particular organs. Using GENEVESTIGATOR, the gene expression profiles of more than 22,000 Arabidopsis genes can be obtained, including those of 10,600 currently uncharacterized genes. The objective of this software application is to direct gene functional discovery and design of new experiments by providing plant biologists with contextual information on the expression of genes. The database and analysis toolbox is available as a community resource at https://www.genevestigator.ethz.ch.

Functional genomic analysis of CAF-1 mutants in Arabidopsis thaliana.

TL;DR: It is suggested that CAF-1 functions in heterochromatin formation, as it is found that hypomethylation of the genome, which has only mild effects on the development of wild-type plants, completely arrested development of CAF -1 mutants.

A Hormone and Proteome Approach to Picturing the Initial Metabolic Events During Plasmodiophora brassicae Infection on Arabidopsis

TL;DR: It is postulate that, at the very first stages of Plasmodiophora infection, plasmodial-produced cytokinins trigger a local re-initiation of cell division in the root cortex, which acts as a sink for host-derived indole-3-acetic acid, carbohydrates, nitrogen, and energy to maintain the pathogen and to trigger gall development.

Different Cold-Signaling Pathways Function in the Responses to Rapid and Gradual Decreases in Temperature.

TL;DR: It is revealed that plants recognize cold stress as two different signals, rapid and gradual temperature decreases, and induce expression of the DREB1 genes, which efficiently control the acquisition of freezing tolerance using two different signaling pathways in response to a gradual temperature decrease during seasonal changes and a sudden temperature drop during the night.

SERK and APOSTART. Candidate genes for apomixis in Poa pratensis.

TL;DR: It is proposed that, in nucellar cells of apomictic genotypes, PpSERK is the switch that channels embryo sac development and that it may also redirect signaling gene products to compartments other than their typical ones.

Nitrile-specifier proteins involved in glucosinolate hydrolysis in Arabidopsis thaliana.

TL;DR: It is shown that AtNSPs belonging to a new family of A. thaliana proteins structurally related to AtESP divert product formation from myrosinase-catalyzed glucosinolate hydrolysis and, thereby, likely affect the biological consequences of glucosInolate degradation.

Gene Ontology: tool for the unification of biology

TL;DR: The goal of the Gene Ontology Consortium is to produce a dynamic, controlled vocabulary that can be applied to all eukaryotes even as knowledge of gene and protein roles in cells is accumulating and changing.

Gene Expression Omnibus: NCBI gene expression and hybridization array data repository

TL;DR: The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) project was initiated in response to the growing demand for a public repository for high-throughput gene expression data and provides a flexible and open design that facilitates submission, storage and retrieval of heterogeneous data sets from high-power gene expression and genomic hybridization experiments.

Analysis of the genome sequence of the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana.

TL;DR: This is the first complete genome sequence of a plant and provides the foundations for more comprehensive comparison of conserved processes in all eukaryotes, identifying a wide range of plant-specific gene functions and establishing rapid systematic ways to identify genes for crop improvement.

Expression monitoring by hybridization to high density oligonucleotide arrays

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method for monitoring the expression levels of a multiplicity of genes by hybridizing a nucleic acid sample to a high density array of oligonucleotide probes and quantifying the hybridized nucleic acids in the array.

Hierarchical Organization of Modularity in Metabolic Networks

TL;DR: It is shown that the metabolic networks of 43 distinct organisms are organized into many small, highly connected topologic modules that combine in a hierarchical manner into larger, less cohesive units, with their number and degree of clustering following a power law.
