Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is one of the major legume crops cultivated worldwide.Bacterial wilt (BW) of common bean (Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv.flaccumfaciens), being a seed-borne disease, has been a challenge in common bean producing regions.A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted to identify SNP markers associated with BW
Plant-specific NAC transcription factors (TFs) play crucial roles in various pathways related to the stress response.However, to date, little information regarding NAC gene regulation during fruit ripening is available for the apple (Malus domestica).Here, we report that 13 1029 out of 182 MdNAC genes were differentially expressed during the stages

The FoxA family of pioneer transcription factors regulates hepatitis B virus (HBV) transcription, and hence viral replication.Hepatocyte-specific FoxA-deficiency in the HBV transgenic mouse model of chronic infection prevents the transcription of the viral DNA genome as a result of the failure of the developmentally controlled conversion of 5-methy
