Proposed model for the stepwise evolution of DELLA functions in the green lineage.

Abstract. Pericarp color is a key trait selected during rice domestication. Although most modern cultivars have a white pericarp, ancestral rice likely had

Centromeres in Arabidopsis thaliana evolve through frequent insertions and deletions of repeat units and increased rates of point mutations driven by homology-directed repair, a mutation spectrum that...

Abstract. Many eukaryotes possess two types of spliceosomes: the U2-dependent and U12-dependent spliceosomes. The U2-dependent spliceosome processes >99

This Commentary highlights the finding that an increased post-submergence oxidative burst reprograms plant cysteine oxidase (PCO)—group VII ethylene response factor (ERFVII) oxygen sensing, inhibitin...

Using a new restorer line for rapeseed Ogura cytoplasmic male sterility, with a shorter foreign DNA fragment, higher fertility stability, and seed color as a marker, established a fully mechanized hy...

Seedling emergence is a major determinant of stand establishment and subsequent yield formation in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), yet it is highly vu…

The histone deacetylase TaHDA1 is a key regulator linking histone and non-histone deacetylation with drought adaptation and a potential target for improving drought resilience and grain nutritional q....

We explored the distributions of grass genera in the Southern Cone (SC) of South America, applying phylogenetic diversity (PD) metrics and randomization tests. Tropical humid regions hold the highest....

Sequence analysis of 80 citrus genomes revealed that ancient hybridization combined different color-determining genes and identified CitPSY1 as the core engine driving pulp coloration, providing prec...

Abstract. Accurate simulation of crop evapotranspiration (ET) is critical for water management and for understanding the impacts of climate variability and

A hierarchical engineering strategy was used to enhance the editing activity of Casδ, yielding an optimized variant termed enCasδ. This variant enables robust genome editing in animal cells and plant...

Researchers have teamed up with Belgian citizens to conduct a mass match-making experiment between cold-tolerant soybeans and rhizobia.
