Welcome to BMC Plant Biology published by BioMed Central
BMC Plant Biology is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in all aspects of cellular, tissue-level, organismal, functional and developmental aspects of plants.
BMC Plant Biology (ISSN 1471-2229) is indexed/tracked/covered by PubMed, MEDLINE, BIOSIS, CAS, Thomson Reuters (ISI) and Google Scholar.

The Arabidopsis response regulator ARR22, is exclusively expressed in the chalaza cells of the developing seed and interacts with histidine-containing phosphotransfer proteins 2, 3 and 5, however, loss-of-function mutants lack a discernable phenotype.
BMC Plant Biology 2008, 8 :41
IBA RESPONSE5 (IBR5), a protein phosphatase, regulates auxin response through a pathway independent of the TIR1 auxin receptor, as shown using Arabidopsis double mutants defective in ibr5 plus other auxin-response genes.
