Poplar is an important afforestation and urban greening species. Poplar leaf development
occurs in stages, from young to mature and then from mature to senescent; these are …

After maturity, seed vigor irreversibly decreases. Understanding the underlying mechanism
is important to germplasm preservation. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play vital regulatory roles in …

As the only overwintering oil crop in the north area of China, living through winter is the
primary feature of winter rapeseed. Roots are the only survival organ during prolonged cold …

Background We have made use of publicly available gene expression data to identify
transcription factors and transcriptional modules (regulons) associated with leaf …

Heat stress damages plant tissues and induces multiple adaptive responses. Complex and
spatiotemporally specific interactions among transcription factors (TFs), microRNAs …

Photosynthesis plays vital role in plant growth and development throughout its life, and it is
influenced by environmental signals and circadian rhythms. We analyzed the transcriptome …

Background A long juvenile period between germination and flowering is a common
characteristic among fruit trees, including Malus hupehensis (Pamp.) Rehd., which is an …

Background Flowering is a critical reproductive process in higher plants. Timing of optimal
flowering depends upon the coordination among seasonal environmental cues. For cool …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play vital regulatory roles in plant growth and development. The
phase transition from vegetative growth to flowering is crucial in the life cycle of plants. To …

Background Trees in temperate zones show periodicity by alternating active and dormant
states to adapt to environmental conditions. Although phytohormones and transcriptional …
