INDEPTH members publish high quality articles. These highlight the leading role that INDEPTH plays in attempts to gain a wider understanding about the role of nuclear domains on gene expression and the development of plant traits. One of these publication was the focus of a video produced by Sciencephile the AI.
According to eCOST criteria of eligibility, the graphs below summarize the number of publications that include COST CA16212 acknowledgments and involve at least 2 partner countries (total = 39 publications). 17 more publications acknowledged CA16212 but involved only one country.


This page lists the publications from each Workgroup during the course of INDEPTH activities. The publications that have acknowledged the role of the COST-Action in the development of collaborations that have led to this research are highlighted in with the INDEPTH logo.
