Inmost existingmethods and softwares of genome-wide association studies(GWAS)fordetecting quantitative trait nucleotides(QTNs),QTN-by-environment interactions(QEls),and QTN-by-QTN interactions(QQIs),only the allele su...
The structural dynamics and flexibility of cell membranes play fundamental roles in the functions of the cells, i.e., signaling, energy transduction, and physiological adaptation. The cyanobacterial thylakoid membrane...
Dear Editor Through the efficient use of heterosis, hybrid rice varieties generally have higher grain yield potential than inbred varieties. With the significant advantage in grain yield, over the past 30 years approx...
The cuticle is the outer physical barrier of aerial plant surfaces and an important interaction point between plants and the environment. Many environmental stresses affect cuticle formation, yet the regulatory pathwa...
Dear Editor,Seed storage proteins (SSPs) are frequently important determinants of crop quality traits (Shewry and Casey, 1999). Dissecting and enhancing the genetic contributions of individual SSPs to their target...
To study how conserved fundamental concepts of the heat stress response (HSR) are in photosynthetic eukaryotes, we applied pharmaceutical and antisense/amiRNA approaches to the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas r...
Biotic and abiotic stresses impose a serious limitation on crop productivity worldwide. Prior or simultaneous exposure to one type of stress often affects the plant response to other stresses, indicating extensive ove...
