The phytohormone jasmonate plays a pivotal role in various aspects of plant life,including developmental programs and defense against pests and pathogens.A large body of knowledge on jasmonate biosynthesis,signal tran...
The knowledge generated from the identification of plant promoters has been very important for plant biotechnology development. The use of promoters in transgenic plants allows a reasonable level of regulating protein...
Iron (Fe) is a vital element for the survival and proliferation of all plants;therefore, Fe-biofortification by the application of chemical and organic fertilizers is being as an effective approach to fight hidden hun...
CRISPR/Cas9 genome targeting systems have been applied to a variety of species. However, most CRISPR/Cas9 systems reported for plants can only modify one or a few target sites. Here, we report a robust CRISPR/Cas9 vec...
Dear Editor,A major function encoded in plant genome sequences is devoted to defense against pests and pathogens. Among the defenserelated functions in the plant genomes sequenced, there is a group of genes coding for...
Aqueous leaf extract and pulverized leaf tissue were tested for allelopathic effects on seed germination, seedling growth traits and net photosynthesis of corn (Zea mays L.) and bean (Vigna sinensis L.) The chemical c...
