Open AccessCytochemical and comparative transcriptome analyses elucidate the formation and ecological adaptation of three types of pollen coat in Zingiberaceae
The pollen ornate surface of flowering plants has long fascinated and puzzled evolutionary biologists for their variety. Each pollen grain is contained within a pollen wall consisting of intine and exine, over...

Transcriptomic analyses reveal the effect of nitric oxide on the lateral root development and growth of mangrove plant Kandelia obovata
Kandelia obovata, a dominant mangrove species in China, produces complex buttress roots and prop roots in intertidal wetlands where high quantities of nitric oxide (NO) are produced by reducing sediments. NO, a ...

The roles of ascorbic acid and glutathione in symptom alleviation to SA-deficient plants infected with RNA viruses
Salicylic acid (SA) is required for plant systemic acquired resistance (SAR) to viruses. However, SA-deficient plants adapt to RNA virus infections better, which show a lighter symptom and have less reactive o...

A broad-spectrum, efficient and nontransgenic approach to control plant viruses by application of salicylic acid and jasmonic acid
Plant viruses cause many diseases that lead to significant economic losses. However, most of the approaches to control plant viruses, including transgenic processes or drugs are plant-species-limited or virus-...
