Open AccessDynamic patterns of gene expression and regulatory variation in the maize seed coat
Seed size is an important factor contributing to maize yield, but its molecular mechanism remains unclear. The seed coat, which serves as one of the three components of the maize grain, determines seed size to...

Open AccessSuppression of microRNA168 enhances salt tolerance in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Rice is a salt-sensitive crop. Complex gene regulatory cascades are likely involved in salinity stress in rice roots. microRNA168 (miR168) is a conserved miRNA among different plant species. It in-directly reg...

Open AccessGene expression variation explains maize seed germination heterosis
Heterosis has been extensively utilized in plant breeding, however, the underlying molecular mechanism remains largely elusive. Maize (Zea mays), which exhibits strong heterosis, is an ideal material for studying...
