Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate biotrophs that supply mineral nutrients to
the host plant in exchange for carbon derived from photosynthesis. Sucrose is the end …

Steady advances in genome sequencing methods have provided valuable insights into the
evolutionary processes of several gene families in plants. At the core of plant biodiversity is …

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an important enzyme that acts as the first line of protection in
the plant antioxidant defense system, involved in eliminating reactive oxygen species (ROS) …

Strigolactone is a newly discovered type of plant hormone that has multiple roles in
modulating plant responses to abiotic stress. Herein, we aimed to investigate the effects of …

Sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS), sucrose synthase (SUS) and invertase (INV) are all
