Detection of DNA changes in somaclonal mutants of rice using SSR markers and transposon display
Somaclonal variation detected in plant tissues grown in vitro can be heritable, and thus provides an opportunity for plant breeders and geneticists to generate novel variants. However, incidence of somaclonal ...

Olfactory responses of Neoseiulus cucumeris (Acari: Phytoseiidae) to odors of host plants and Frankliniella occidentalis (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)–plant complexes
We studied the olfactory responses of Neoseiulus cucumeris (Acari: Phytoseiidae) to odors from eggplant (Solanum melongena L.), pepper (Capsicum aunuum), and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), three host plants, and ...

Genetic and physical map** of qHY-8, a pleiotropic QTL for heading date and yield-related traits in rice
A QTL, qHY-8, has been resolved into a single Mendelian locus controlling heading date and yield-related traits in rice. The trait-performance of the three genotypes for the QTL in the BC5F2 or BC4F2 populations ...

Sugar starvation- and GA-inducible calcium-dependent protein kinase 1 feedback regulates GA biosynthesis and activates a 14-3-3 protein to confer drought tolerance in rice seedlings
Germination followed by seedling growth constitutes two essential steps in the initiation of a new life cycle in plants, and in cereals, completion of these steps is regulated by sugar starvation and the hormo...

Over-expression of a C3H-type zinc finger gene contributes to salt stress tolerance in transgenic broccoli plants
C3H-type zinc finger proteins play important roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses. A C3H-type zinc finger gene, designated BoC3H, was isolated from broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica). T...

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...
