    Cloning southern corn rust resistant gene RppK and its cognate gene AvrRppK from Puccinia polysora

    Broad-spectrum resistance has great values for crop breeding. However, its mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we report the cloning of a maize NLR gene, RppK, for resistance against southern corn rust (SCR) an...

    Selectively anchoring single atoms on specific sites of supports for improved oxygen evolution

    The homogeneity of single-atom catalysts is only to the first-order approximation when all isolated metal centers interact identically with the support. Since the realistic support with various topologies or d...

    Protein-altering germline mutations implicate novel genes related to lung cancer development

    Few germline mutations are known to affect lung cancer risk. We performed analyses of rare variants from 39,146 individuals of European ancestry and investigated gene expression levels in 7,773 samples. We fin...

    Multi-omics analysis of the development and fracture resistance for maize internode

    The maize stalk is an important mechanical supporting tissue. The stalk fracture resistance is closely related to lodging resistance, and thus the yield. In this study, we showed that the basal zone (BZ) was m...

    Dynamic plant height QTL revealed in maize through remote sensing phenoty** using a high-throughput unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)

    Plant height (PH) is a key factor in maize (Zea mays L.) yield, biomass, and plant architecture. We investigated the PH of diverse maize inbred lines (117 temperate lines, 135 tropical lines) at four growth stage...
