Despite recent progress in crop genomics studies,the genomic changes brought about by modern breeding selection are still poorly understood,thus hampering genomics-assisted breeding,especially in polyploid crops with ...
Maize(Zea mays)and sorghum(Sorghum bicolor)are closely related crops and share a common ancestor dating back approximately 12 million years.Maize underwent a whole-genome duplication event 5-12 million years ago,leadi...
Studying functional divergence between different species is key to understanding gene evolution,but it is challenging when comparison of distant phyla or when allelic diversity is limiting.
Research is funded by the grants from the M inistry of Science and Technology of China(2016YFD0101801);the Ministry of Agriculture of China(2016ZX08001-004).
Nitrogen (N) is the most abundant mineral element in plants and often constitutes a major limiting factor in agricultural practice. The application of N fertilizer has greatly enhanced the global crop production, but ...

Rapeseed (Brassica napus),an important oilseed crop,has adapted to diverse climate zones and latitudes by forming three main ecotype groups,namely winter,semiwinter,and spring types. However,genetic variations underly...
RNA secondary structure plays a critical role in gene regulation. Rice (Oryza sativa) is one of the most important food crops in the world. However, RNA structure in rice has scarcely been studied. Here, we have suc...
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...
The genus Oryza comprises two species of cultivated rice and more than 20 species of wild rice (Wing et al., 2005). The two cultivated species are Asian cultivated rice (Oryza sativa) and African cultivated rice ...
