Cytogenetic analysis reveals a mechanism of compatibility in distant hybridization between tree peony and herbaceous peony
Cross-incompatibility is the major challenge in inter-sectional distant hybridization between tree peonies (Paeonia sect. Moutan) and herbaceous peonies (Paeonia sect. Paeonia). Most of the intersectional cross c...

Natural variation of Grain size 3 allele differentially functions in regulating grain length in xian/indica and geng/japonica rice
Grain yield in rice is largely determined by grain size. Grain Size 3 (GS3) is a major quantitative trait locus for grain size. The C–A natural variation in the second exon of GS3 was reported to play an importan...

Development of introgression lines and map** of qGW2, a novel QTL that confers grain width, in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Rice grain size is a key determinant of both grain yield and quality. Identification of favorable alleles for use in rice breeding may help to meet the demand for increased yield. In this study, we developed a...

Open AccessIdentification of ceRNA-vsiRNA-mRNA network for exploring the mechanism underlying pathogenesis of sugarcane mosaic virus in resistant and susceptible maize inbred lines
RNA silencing plays an important role in plant antiviral responses, which trigger the production of virus-derived small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs). The competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) hypothesis revealed a un...
