The endomembrane system is an interconnected network required to establish signal
transduction, cell polarity, and cell shape in response to developmental or environmental …

Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for plants, but the molecular mechanisms underlying
the uptake and distribution of B in allotetraploid rapeseed (Brassica napus) are unclear …

Leaves and siliques are important organs associated with dry matter biosynthesis and
vegetable oil accumulation in plants. We identified and characterized a novel locus …

Seed oil content is an important agronomic trait in rapeseed. However, our understanding of
the regulatory processes controlling oil accumulation is still limited. Using two rapeseed …

In plants, light-dependent activation of de novo fatty acid synthesis (FAS) is partially
mediated by acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), the first committed step for this pathway …

Flower development and plant architecture determine the efficiency of mechanized harvest
and seed yield in Brassica napus. Although TERMINAL FLOWER 1 (AtTFL1) is a regulator of …

It plays important roles in controlling differentiation and pigmentation of the seed coat …

The element boron (B) is an essential plant micronutrient, and B deficiency results in
significant crop losses worldwide. The maize (Zea mays) tassel-less1 (tls1) mutant has …

Storage lipids (mostly triacylglycerols, TAGs) serve as an important energy and carbon
reserve in plants, and hyperaccumulation of TAG in vegetative tissues can have negative …
