Inhibitory effect of volatile organic compounds from Bacillus flexus TR-1 against Aspergillus flavus and aflatoxins in grains during storage
Aspergillus flavus infects stored grains and produces aflatoxins with highly toxic and carcinogenic properties, which are a threat to food safety and human health. Microbes and their bio-active compounds are cons...

A type-2C protein phosphatase (GhDRP1) participates in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) response to drought stress
GhDRP1 acts as a negatively regulator to participate in response to drought stress possibly by modulating ABA signaling pathway and flavonoid biosynthesis pathway which affects stomata movement and thus water ...

A histone deacetylase, GhHDT4D, is positively involved in cotton response to drought stress
Acetylation and deacetylation of histones are important for regulating a series of biological processes in plants. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) control the histone deacetylation that plays an important role in...

Genome-wide identification of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) reveals GhMPK6 involved in fiber elongation
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are important in regulating plant development as well as stress response. In this study, we genome-widely identified 56 MAPK genes in upland cotton. These MAPK genes uneq...

v301, a new allele of BRITTLE CULM 12, and its regulation of the early senescence of the leaf blade in rice
The leaf is the main site for plant photosynthesis and an important component of the maximally efficient plant architecture of rice. Early senescence of leaves affects directly both the yield and the quality ...

Marker-assisted selection of Verticillium wilt resistance in progeny populations of upland cotton derived from mass selection-mass crossing
Two progeny populations of upland cotton derived from mass selection-mass crossing, M3S2F5 and its family lines M3S2F5:6, were generated from 17 hybrid cotton lines derived from regional trials conducted in the Y...

Enhanced overall resistance to Fusarium seedling blight and Fusarium head blight in transgenic wheat by co-expression of anti-fungal peptides
Introduction of alien genes into wheat has been proposed as a strategy to breed cultivars with improved resistance to Fusarium seedling blight (FSB) and Fusarium head blight (FHB). In this study, we co-transfo...

Density effects on the growth of self-thinning Eucalyptus urophylla stands
Density effects on the growth of self-thinning Eucalyptus urophylla stands were examined for 7 years. Tree height and stem diameter at breast height were measured during the experimental period. Stems, branches, ...

Exogenous hydrogen peroxide can enhance tolerance of wheat seedlings to salt stress
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), an active oxygen species, is widely generated in many biological systems and mediates various physiological and biochemical processes in plants. In this study, we demonstrated that exoge...
