Meristems are stem cell-containing structures that produce all plant organs and are therefore
important targets for crop improvement. Developmental regulators control the balance and …

Functional cloning and manipulation of genes controlling various agronomic traits are
important for boosting crop production. Although bulked segregant analysis (BSA) is an …

Genetic dissection of agronomic traits is important for crop improvement and global food
security. Phenotypic variation of tassel branch number (TBN), a major breeding target, is …

Abstract Background Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important crops worldwide.
Although sophisticated maize gene regulatory networks (GRNs) have been constructed for …

Discovering natural product biosynthetic pathways of medicinal plants is challenging and
laborious. Capturing the coregulation patterns of pathway enzymes, particularly …

Sugarcane is the most important sugar and energy crop in the world. During sugarcane
breeding, technology is the requirement and methods are the means. As we know, seed is …

Apetala2/ethylene response factor (AP2/ERF) is one of the largest families of transcription
factors, regulating growth, development, and stress response in plants. Several studies have …

Spike architecture influences both grain weight and grain number per spike, which are the
two major components of grain yield in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). However, the …

Drought is one of the major abiotic stresses affecting the maize production worldwide. As a
cross-pollination crop, maize is sensitive to water stress at flowering stage. Drought at this …

With the increasing availability of large-scale biology data in crop plants, there is an urgent
demand for a versatile platform that fully mines and utilizes the data for modern molecular …
