APPLICABLE CROP DGMS TECHNOLOGY IN THE POST-HETEROSIS UTILIZATION ERA,The global population is predicted to grow by 25%and reach 10 billion by the mid-21st century(Hickey et al.,2019).To meet the food demands of the g...
Tip growth is a common strategy for the rapid elongation of cells to forage the environment and/or to target to long-distance destinations. In the model tip growth system of Arabidopsis pollen tubes, several small- mo...
The RHO-related GTPases ROP1 and ROP6 and the ROPl-interacting protein RIC4 in Arabidopsis are involved in various processes of F-actin dynamics, cell growth, and plant/microbe interactions. The knockout ropl and ropl...
