    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...

    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 ...

    Genome-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...
