Open AccessMaize multi-omics reveal leaf water status controlling of differential transcriptomes, proteomes and hormones as mechanisms of age-dependent osmotic stress response in leaves
Drought-induced osmotic stress severely affects the growth and yield of maize. However, the mechanisms underlying the different responses of young and old maize leaves to osmotic stress remain unclear. To gain...

Open AccessTranscriptome and co-expression network analyses of key genes and pathways associated with differential abscisic acid accumulation during maize seed maturation
Currently, mechanical maize kernel harvesting has not been fully utilized in develo** countries including China, partly due to the absence of suitable cultivars capable of rapid desiccation during seed matur...

The GATA Gene Family in Chickpea: Structure Analysis and Transcriptional Responses to Abscisic Acid and Dehydration Treatments Revealed Potential Genes Involved in Drought Adaptation
The GATA transcription factors are important transcriptional regulators of plant growth and responses to environmental stimuli. Here, a total of 25 CaGATA genes was identified in chickpea (Cicer arietinum), and t...

Open Access2-DE-based proteomic analysis of protein changes associated with etiolated mesocotyl growth in Zea mays
The mesocotyl connects the coleoptilar node and the basal part of the seminal root of maize (Zea mays) seedling. The mesocotyl pushes the shoot of the seedling out of the soil during seed germination; thus, its g...

Proteomic identification of lipid-bodies-associated proteins in maize seeds
Seeds store lipids in the form of lipid bodies (LBs) for germination and early seedling growth. LBs can be easily isolated by the established floating-extraction method from oleaginous seeds containing a large...
