Fine map** and genetic analysis identified a C2H2-type zinc finger as a candidate gene for heading date regulation in wheat
A minor-effect QTL, Qhd.2AS, that affects heading date in wheat was mapped to a genomic interval of 1.70-Mb on 2AS, and gene analysis indicated that the C2H2-type zinc finger protein gene TraesCS2A02G181200 is th...

Comparative Transcriptome and Hormone Analysis of Mature Leaves and New Shoots in Tea Cuttings (Camellia sinensis) among Three Cultivars with Different Rooting Abilities
Adventitious root (AR) formation is essential for the successful propagation of Camellia sinensis. Endogenous phytohormones play an important role in this process, which is strongly dependent on genotype. However...

Sparse deconvolution improves the resolution of live-cell super-resolution fluorescence microscopy
A main determinant of the spatial resolution of live-cell super-resolution (SR) microscopes is the maximum photon flux that can be collected. To further increase the effective resolution for a given photon flu...

Open AccessProteome profiling reveals changes in energy metabolism, transport and antioxidation during drought stress in Nostoc flagelliforme
Drought is an important abiotic stress that constrains the growth of many species. Despite extensive study in model organisms, the underlying mechanisms of drought tolerance in Nostoc flagelliforme remain elusive...

Investigating plant chemicals and trade-offs between adult preference and larval performance of the rice water weevil
Herbivores use plant chemicals for host plant selection to maximize their own and/or offspring performance. Since host plants that are optimal for mother and offspring are often different and spatially/tempora...

Immunodominant membrane protein (Imp) promotes the transmission of wheat blue dwarf (WBD) phytoplasma by directly interacting with α-tubulin in leafhoppers
Phytoplasmas are important plant pathogens that affect crops, bushes, and trees. Wheat blue dwarf (WBD) phytoplasma is transmitted by the leafhopper Psammotettix striatus, with infection resulting in severe losse...

Open AccessRICE CENTRORADIALIS 1, a TFL1-like Gene, Responses to Drought Stress and Regulates Rice Flowering Transition
The initiation of flowering transition in rice (Oryza sativa) is a complex process regulated by genes and environment. In particular, drought can interfere with flowering; therefore, many plants hasten this proce...
