Detection of bloom-forming dinoflagellates Karenia mikimotoi and Prorocentrum donghaiense using qPCR assays
The dinoflagellates Karenia mikimotoi and Prorocentrum donghaiense are both important causative species of harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the East China Sea. The ichthyotoxic K. mikimotoi, which occasionally lead...

A novel 33-bp insertion in the promoter of TaMFT-3A is associated with pre-harvest sprouting resistance in common wheat
TaMFT-3A on wheat chromosome 3AS, encoding a phosphatidyl ethanolamine-binding protein, was previously determined to be a candidate gene underlying the major quantitative trait locus (QTL) for pre-harvest sprouti...

Identification of major loci for seed dormancy at different post-ripening stages after harvest and validation of a novel locus on chromosome 2AL in common wheat
A long-period duration of seed dormancy helps to reduce pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) damage in common wheat when a long period of rainfall or high humidity occurs. Identification of genes or loci underlying see...

Cloning and characterization of Tabas1-B1 gene associated with flag leaf chlorophyll content and thousand-grain weight and development of a gene-specific marker in wheat
The chloroplast photosystem of flag leaves contributes the largest proportion of photosynthates to grain in crops and consequently affects grain weight. The plant 2-Cys peroxiredoxin BAS1 is involved in chloro...

The genus Phylloporus (Boletaceae, Boletales) from China: morphological and multilocus DNA sequence analyses
Species of the genus Phylloporus in China were investigated based on morphology and molecular phylogenetic analysis of a three-locus (nrLSU, ITS and tef-1a) DNA sequence dataset. Twenty-one phylogenetic species w...
