    Auxin efflux carrier ZmPIN1a modulates auxin reallocation involved in nitrate-mediated root formation

    Auxin plays a crucial role in nitrate (NO3)-mediated root architecture, and it is still unclear that if NO3 supply modulates auxin reallocation for regulating root formation in maize (Zea mays L.). This study w...

    Meta-QTL analysis explores the key genes, especially hormone related genes, involved in the regulation of grain water content and grain dehydration rate in maize

    Low grain water content (GWC) at harvest of maize (Zea mays L.) is essential for mechanical harvesting, transportation and storage. Grain drying rate (GDR) is a key determinant of GWC. Many quantitative trait loc...

    The effects of mepiquat chloride on the lateral root initiation of cotton seedlings are associated with auxin and auxin-conjugate homeostasis

    Mepiquat chloride (MC) is a plant growth regulator widely used in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production to suppress excessive vegetative growth, increase root growth and avoid yield losses. To increase root g...
