The concept of genomic balance traces to the early days of genetics. In recent years, studies
of gene expression have found parallels to the classical phenotypic studies in that aneuploid …

Divergence in flowering time is a key contributor to reproductive isolation between incipient
species, as it enforces habitat specialization and causes assortative mating even in …

Characterizing concentrations of several beneficiary and toxic metals in maize leaves is of
importance for ionomic studies and for silage production. The intermated B73× Mo17 maize …

Abstract Key message A DTH8/Ghd8 allele suppresses flowering by altering the expression
patterns of the 'florigen'genes, but also negatively regulates chlorophyll biogenesis. Abstract …

With predicted global changes in temperature and precipitation, drought will increasingly
impose a challenge to biomass production. Most of the bioenergy crops have some degree …

In order to detect quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for drought tolerance in wheat during seed
germination conditional and unconditional QTL analyses of eight seedling traits were …

Genomics and phenomics are two fundamentally important branches of biological sciences,
and they stand at both ends of the multiple “omics” families. A central goal of current biology …

Maize rough dwarf disease (MRDD), caused by the Maize rough dwarf virus (MRDV) is
highly prevalent across summer at maize-growing areas in China. To investigate the genetic …

Abiotic stress experienced by autumn-sown crops during winter is of great economic
importance as it can have a severe negative impact on yield. In this study, we investigated …

Florigen is a systemic signal that promotes flowering. Its molecular nature is a conserved
FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) protein that belongs to the PEBP family. FT is expressed in the …
