...Dennis A. Sun; Jessen V. Bredeson; Heather S. Bruce; Nipam H. Patel ABSTRACT Emerging research organisms enable the study of biology that cannot be addressed using classical ‘model’ organisms. New data resources can accelerate research in such animals. Here, we present new functional genomic...

... these traits for crop improvement. We also briefly review the effects of domestication on the developmental features of crop plants. Finally, we discuss the potential of functional genomics-based approaches to optimize plant developmental traits to increase yield. * Author for correspondence ( aranjan...

..., the knock-down phenotypes recapitulate several aspects of Wnt pathway mutants, suggesting that these genes are components of the downstream Wnt response. This functional genomic approach allows the rapid identification of functionally important components of embryonic development from large datasets...
