Genome editing is a valuable technique for gene function analysis and crop improvement.
Over the past two years, the CRISPR-Cas9 system has emerged as a powerful tool for …

Melatonin plays an important role in abiotic stress in plant, but its role in wheat drought
tolerance is less known. To verify its role, wheat seedlings (Triticum aestivum L. ‘Yan 995’) at 60…

The bioconversion of carbohydrates in the herbaceous bioenergy crop, switchgrass (Panicum
virgatum L.), is limited by the associated lignins in the biomass. The cinnamyl alcohol …

Phosphate is one of the least available macronutrients restricting crop production in many
ecosystems. A phytase gene (MtPHY1) and a purple acid phosphatase gene (MtPAP1), both …

Main conclusion Melatonin-mediated osmotic tolerance was attributed to increased antioxidant
capacity, energy metabolism, osmoregulation and autophagy in wheat (Triticum aestivum …

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) has been developed into an important biofuel crop.
Embryogenic calli induced from caryopses or inflorescences of the lowland switchgrass cultivar …

Chlorophyll drives plant photosynthesis. Under stress conditions, leaf chlorophyll content
changes dramatically, which could provide insight into plant photosynthesis and drought …

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is one of the most widely grown crops in the USA. Phosphate (P)
deficiency is common in areas where forage crops are grown. To improve the use of …

Switchgrass is one of the most promising bioenergy crops and is generally cultivated in arid
climates and poor soils. Heat shock transcription factors (Hsfs) are key regulators of plant …

E3 ubiquitin ligase genes play important roles in the regulation of plant development. They
have been well studied in plants, but have not been sufficiently investigated in wheat. Here, …
