The evolution of root architecture in plants was a prerequisite for the absorption of water and
minerals from the soil, and thus a major determinant of terrestrial plant colonization. Cereals …

Shoot-borne adventitious/crown roots form a highly derived fibrous root system in grasses.
The molecular mechanisms controlling their development remain largely unknown. Here, we …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated continuously as a by-product of aerobic
metabolism in plants. While excessive ROS cause oxidative stresses in cells, they act as …

Main conclusion This study reveals that the process of crown root development and auxin-
induced de novo root organogenesis during in vitro plantlet regeneration share a common …

Light is one of the most important factors regulating plant gene expression patterns,
metabolism, physiology, growth, and development. To explore how light may induce or alter …

Grain yield, which is one of the most important traits in rice breeding, is controlled in part by
panicle branching patterns. Numerous genes involved in the control of panicle architecture …

Roots, at a basic level, are necessary for the survival of the plant and its adaptation capacity
to various terrestrial environments. Like many kinds of cereals, rice possesses a fibrous root …

Following domestication, rice cultivars have been spread worldwide to different climates and
have experienced selection pressures to improve desirable traits. This has resulted in …
