Natural alleles controlling multiple disease resistances (MDR) are valuable for crop breeding. However, only one MDR gene have been cloned in maize, and molecular mechanisms of MDR are not clear. By map-based cloning,...
Investigating how crop domestication and early farming mediated crop attributes, distributions, and interactions with antagonists may shed light on today's agricultural pest problems. Crop domestication generally invo...
Gene expression regulation plays an important role in controlling plant phenotypes and adaptation. Here, we report a comprehensive assessment of gene expression variation through the transcriptome analyses of a large ...
Dear Editor,The timing of developmental transitions is important for plant growth and environmental adaptation. All plants undergo a series of developmental transitions during their life cycles, and each of these phas...

Zea nicaraguensis, a wild relative of cultivated maize (Zea mays subsp, mays), is considered to be a valuable germplasm to improve the waterlogging tolerance of cultivated maize. Use of reverse genetic-based gene cl...
Leaf cells undergo two main developmental events;i.e., cell proliferation and cell differentiation, before maturation. These events occur sequentially at specific positions and with specific timing during leaf develop...
