New insights into the complex and coordinated transcriptional regulation networks underlying rice seed development through cDNA chip-based analysis
Transcription factors (TFs) are major, crucial factors for developmental control. To elucidate the effects of TFs on rice seed development, we generated a cDNA chip containing 325 rice cDNA clones, which are f...

Leaf Wilting Movement Can Protect Water-Stressed Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) Plants Against Photoinhibition of Photosynthesis and Maintain Carbon Assimilation in the Field
Under severe water stress, leaf wilting is quite general in higher plants. This passive movement can reduce the energy load on a leaf. This paper reports an experimental test of the hypothesis that leaf wiltin...

Important photosynthetic contribution from the non-foliar green organs in cotton at the late growth stage
Non-foliar green organs are recognized as important carbon sources after leaves. However, the contribution of each organ to total yield has not been comprehensively studied in relation to the time-course of ch...

The Different Photoprotective Mechanisms of Various Green Organs in Cotton (Gossypium Hirsutum L.)
Photoinactivation of Photosystem II (PS II) during photosynthesis can lead to the loss of photochemical efficiency and decrease in crop yield. Plants have evolved various photoprotective strategies to ameliora...

Comparative Nitrogen Allocation and Partitioning of Field-Grown Gossypium Hirsutum and G. Barbadense
In our previous study, we found that though pima cotton had higher area-based total leaf nitrogen content, pima cotton had lower photosynthetic capacity than upland cotton. The principal aim of this study was ...

Open AccessIdentification and analysis of glutathione S-transferase gene family in sweet potato reveal divergent GST-mediated networks in aboveground and underground tissues in response to abiotic stresses
Sweet potato, a hexaploid species lacking a reference genome, is one of the most important crops in many develo** countries, where abiotic stresses are a primary cause of reduction of crop yield. Glutathione...

Open AccessExploring transcription factors reveals crucial members and regulatory networks involved in different abiotic stresses in Brassica napus L.
Brassica napus (B. napus) encompasses diverse transcription factors (TFs), but thorough identification and characterization of TF families, as well as their transcriptional responsiveness to multifarious stresses...

Open AccessCo** with drought: stress and adaptive mechanisms, and management through cultural and molecular alternatives in cotton as vital constituents for plant stress resilience and fitness
Increased levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and associated climatic variability is primarily responsible for inducing heat waves, flooding and drought stress. Among these, water scarcity is a major ...

Open AccessImpact of water deficiency on leaf cuticle lipids and gene expression networks in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)
Water deficit (WD) has serious effect on the productivity of crops. Formation of cuticular layer with increased content of wax and cutin on leaf surfaces is closely related to drought tolerance. Identification...

Seed Priming with Gibberellin Regulates the Germination of Cotton Seeds Under Low-Temperature Conditions
Exogenous substances play an important role in the response of cotton to low-temperature conditions during the germination stage, but little is known about the mechanism involved. To fill this knowledge gap, e...
