Computational screening of miRNAs and their targets in saffron (Crocus sativus L.) by transcriptome mining.

A robust workflow for the identification of miRNAs and their targets in saffron was developed. MicroRNA-mediated gene regulation in saffron is potentially involved in several biological processes, including the biosynthesis of highly valuable apocarotenoids. Saffron (Crocus sativus L.

A robust workflow for indirect somatic embryogenesis and cormlet production in saffron ( L.) and its wild allies; and .

Saffron ( L.) and its wild relatives, and are of considerable significance in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and ornamental bulbs industry. Towards the ultimate goal of the conservation of wild species and establishment of an efficient workflow for production of Crocuses, efficient protocols were developed for disinfection and production of cormlets in and its wild allies and .

Complete Genome Sequencing Provides Novel Insight Into the Virulence Repertories and Phylogenetic Position of Dry Beans Pathogen pv. .

Bacterial wilt of dry beans (family Fabaceae) caused by the actinobacterial agent pv. is one of the most important diseases threatening edible legume production around the globe. Despite the economic losses due to the bacterial wilt disease, the pathogen has not so far been investigated for its genomic features, pathogenicity determinants, and virulence strategies.
