gene-expression

2 articles

Gene expression is the process by which a gene's encoded information is converted into functional products—such as proteins or regulatory RNA molecules—through transcription and, for protein-coding genes, translation. In plant science, understanding gene expression is fundamental to uncovering how plants respond to environmental conditions, regulate growth and development, and orchestrate complex processes like flowering, stress responses, and photosynthesis. By mapping when and where specific genes are active, researchers can identify the molecular mechanisms underlying key plant traits and develop strategies for improving crop resilience and productivity.
