EoRNA2: Autonomous Data Discovery and Processing for Databasing of Gene Expression Data

EoRNA2 expands its barley gene expression database with more samples and improved infrastructure, featuring automated workflows and a new reference transcript dataset.

Development of a Flex-Seq SNP panel for raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) and validation through linkage map construction and identification of QTL for several traits of agronomic importance to raspberry breeding

The paper develops a Flex-Seq SNP panel for red raspberry and validates it through linkage maps and QTL identification for agronomic traits.

Barley BODYGUARD controls cuticular specialisations regulated by SHINE transcription factors

This study identifies HvBDG1 as a gene essential for barley cuticular integrity and wax bloom, showing its interaction with SHINE transcription factors in cuticle development and revealing NUD's broader role beyond grain-specific functions.

Transcriptional response to Phytophthora root rot in raspberry identifies RiABP19, a Germin-like protein (GLP) gene with a putative role in resistance

This study identifies RiABP19, a Germin-like protein gene, as a key player in raspberry resistance to Phytophthora root rot through transcriptomic analysis and functional assays.

Silencing of a raspberry homologue of VRN1 is associated with disruption of dormancy induction and misregulation of subsets of dormancy-associated genes.

This study identifies a VRN1 homologue in raspberry that, when silenced by upstream insertions in Glen Dee, causes dormancy misregulation and altered gene expression.

EoRNA, a barley gene and transcript abundance database.

The paper develops EoRNA, a barley gene and transcript abundance database, using RNA-seq data from 22 experiments across 843 samples to provide gene and transcript expression profiles.

A genome assembly of the barley 'transformation reference' cultivar Golden Promise

The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly for the barley cultivar Golden Promise, useful for genetic research and CRISPR-Cas9 experiments.

BaRTv1.0: an improved barley reference transcript dataset to determine accurate changes in the barley transcriptome using RNA-seq

The paper develops BaRTv1.0, a high-quality barley reference transcript dataset, enabling accurate RNA-seq analysis of gene expression and alternative splicing.
