Gene or pathway functional similarities are important information for researchers. However, these similarities are often described sparsely and qualitatively. The latent semantic analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) Gene Ontology (GO) data ...
BACKGROUND: Jatropha curcas is an oil-bearing plant, and has seeds with high oil content (~ 40%). Several advantages, such as easy genetic transformation and short generation duration, have led to the emergence of J. curcas as a model for woody energ...
BACKGROUND: Recently, a number of studies have been conducted to investigate how plants respond to stress at the cellular molecular level by measuring gene expression profiles over time. As a result, a set of time-series gene expression data for the ...
Linkage mapping is one of the most commonly used methods to identify genetic loci that determine a trait. However, the loci identified by linkage mapping may contain hundreds of candidate genes and require a time-consuming and labor-intensive fine ma...

Rice is an important cereal crop, being a staple food for over half of the world's population, and sexual reproduction resulting in grain formation underpins global food security. However, despite considerable research efforts, many of the genes, esp...
Tomato is the most economically important horticultural crop used as a model to study plant biology and particularly fruit development. Knowledge obtained from tomato research initiated improvements in tomato and, being transferrable to other such ec...
Finding efficient analytical techniques is overwhelmingly turning into a bottleneck for the effectiveness of large biological data. Machine learning offers a novel and powerful tool to advance classification and modeling solutions in molecular biolog...
Cacao (Theobroma cacao), the source of chocolate, is threatened by devastating diseases like frosty pod rot (FPR) and witches' broom disease (WBD), impacting global production and farmer livelihoods. Here, we employ a machine learning-driven genome-w...
Plants have evolved diverse adaptive mechanisms to sense and respond to environmental stimuli such as cadmium stress. The regulation of gene expression plays a critical role in plant responses to abiotic stress. However, homologous genes from differe...
Stomata are adjustable pores on leaf surfaces that regulate the tradeoff of CO2 uptake with water vapor loss, thus having critical roles in controlling photosynthetic carbon gain and plant water use. The lack of easy, rapid methods for phenotyping ep...
