Massively parallel sequencing of DNA by pyrosequencing technology offers much higher
throughput and lower cost than conventional Sanger sequencing. Although extensively used …

Until recently the role of cyclic nucleotide monophosphates (cNMPs) in plants had been
controversial, with equivocal data about their concentrations, biosynthetic and degrading …

Abstract Background Berries of grape (Vitis vinifera) contain three major tissue types (skin,
pulp and seed) all of which contribute to the aroma, color, and flavor characters of wine. The …

Background and Aims Potassium transporters belonging to the KT/KUP/HAK family are
important for various aspects of plant life including mineral nutrition and the regulation of …

To explore the possibility of overcoming the highly phytotoxic effect of SO2 and salt stress,
we introduced the maize Cu/ZnSOD and/or CAT genes into chloroplasts of Chinese …

We screened a rice (Oryza sativa L.'Nipponbare') full-length cDNA expression library
through functional complementation in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) to find novel …

Plant cells sensing pathogenic microorganisms evoke defence systems that can confer
resistance to infection. This innate immune reaction can include triggering of basal defence …

For photoheterotrophic growth, a Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cell requires at least 1.7× 107
manganese ions in the medium. At lower manganese ion concentrations (typically< 0.5 μ m) …

Potassium is one of the major macro-nutrients essential for a number of cellular processes in
plants. Low potassium level in the soil represents a limiting factor for crop production …

钙是植物必需的营养元素. 酸性砂质土壤中含钙较少, 导致在其土壤上生长的作物容易缺钙.
另外由于果树果实, 果菜类和包心叶菜类的蒸腾作用弱, 导致果树和蔬菜普遍生理缺钙 …
