QTL analysis of wheat kernel traits, and genetic effects of qKW-6A on kernel width
The three genetic populations used in this study included a doubled-haploid (DH) population derived from ‘Hanxuan 10’ × ‘Lumai 14’, a BC3F6 population from ‘Lumai 14’ × ‘**g 411’ [introgression line (IL) populat...

Open AccessIdentification of TaPPH-7A haplotypes and development of a molecular marker associated with important agronomic traits in common wheat
Premature senescence of flag leaf severely affects wheat yield and quality. Chlorophyll (Chl) degradation is the most obvious symptom during leaf senescence and catalyzed by a series of enzymes. Pheophytin phe...

Open AccessTranscriptomic profiling of the develo** brain revealed cell-type and brain-region specificity in a mouse model of prenatal stress
Prenatal stress (PS) is considered as a risk factor for many mental disorders. PS-induced transcriptomic alterations may contribute to the functional dysregulation during brain development. Here, we used RNA-s...
