Dynamic changes in the genetic parameters of growth traits with age and their associations with heterosis in hybrid Liriodendron
Liriodendron plants have been cultivated in many regions of the world for both wood production and landscape ornamentation. Hybrid Liriodendron varieties show obvious growth and resistance heterosis; thus, inters...

LRRK1, a receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase, regulates leaf rolling through modulating bulliform cell development in rice
Moderate leaf rolling is useful in improving photosynthetic efficiency and grain yields. Receptor-like cytoplasmic kinases (RLCKs) play important roles in plant growth and development. However, little is known...

Open AccessSparse Tensor Decomposition for Haplotype Assembly of Diploids and Polyploids
Haplotype assembly is the task of reconstructing haplotypes of an individual from a mixture of sequenced chromosome fragments. Haplotype information enables studies of the effects of genetic variations on an o...

Over-expression of a fungal NADP(H)-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase PcGDH improves nitrogen assimilation and growth quality in rice
Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) tends to have a lower affinity for ammonium than glutamine synthetase (GS) in higher plants. Consequently, nitrogen is mostly assimilated as ammonium by the GS/glutamate synthase ...

Simultaneous improvement and genetic dissection of grain yield and its related traits in a backbone parent of hybrid rice (Oryza sativa L.) using selective introgression
Three populations with a total of 125 BC2F3:4 introgression lines (ILs) selected for high yields from three BC2F2 populations were used for genetic dissection of rice yield and its related traits. The progeny ...

Open AccessGenome-wide gene expression profiling of introgressed indica rice alleles associated with seedling cold tolerance improvement in a japonica rice background
Rice in tropical and sub-tropical areas is often subjected to cold stress at the seedling stage, resulting in poor growth and yield loss. Although japonica rice is generally more cold tolerant (CT) than indica ri...

Novel loci for field resistance to black-streaked dwarf and stripe viruses identified in a set of reciprocal introgression lines of rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Rice black-streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV) and stripe virus (RSV) are the two chronic viral diseases causing great damage to rice (Oryza sativa L.) production in China, and both are transmitted by the small brown pl...

Comparative Metabolite Profiling and Hormone Analysis of Perennial and Annual Rice
Perenniality is one of the important topics in rice breeding which is generally accompanied by complex physiobiochemical processes. To understand the metabolic characteristics of perennial rice, in the present...

Ammonium-Stimulated Root Hair Branching is Enhanced by Methyl Jasmonate and Suppressed by Ethylene in Arabidopsis thaliana
Root hair development is orchestrated by nutritional factors and plant hormones. We investigated the action of ammonium (NH 4 + ) and its interactions with meth...

Open AccessGenome-wide temporal-spatial gene expression profiling of drought responsiveness in rice
Rice is highly sensitive to drought, and the effect of drought may vary with the different genotypes and development stages. Genome-wide gene expression profiling was used as the initial point to dissect molec...

A Sorghum propinquum BAC library, suitable for cloning genes associated with loss-of-function mutations during crop domestication
A large insert Sorghum propinquum BAC library has been constructed to analyze the physical organization of the sorghum genome and to facilitate positional cloning of sorghum genes and QTLs associated with the ...
