Under the natural environment, nutrient signals interact with phytohormones to coordinate
and reprogram plant growth and survival. Sugars are important molecules that control …

In most fungal pathogen–plant systems, a high level of sugars in plant tissues enhances
plant resistance. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the mechanisms of …

The simultaneous improvement of grain quality and yield of cereal crops is a major
challenge for modern agriculture. Here we show that a rice grain yield quantitative trait locus …

We developed a new series of binary vectors useful for Gateway cloning to facilitate
transgenic experiments in plant biotechnology. The new system, Gateway Binary Vectors …

Plants must achieve a balance between carbon assimilation, storage and growth, but little is
known about how this is achieved. We describe evidence for the existence of regulatory …

We made a series of improved Gateway binary vectors (pGWBs) for plant transformation.
Fifteen different reporters and tags, sGFP, GUS, LUC, EYFP, ECFP, G3GFP, mRFP, 6ÂHis …

The study of biological systems relies to a large extent on DNA cloning technologies
enabling the analysis of recombinant genes through transgenic research. In this context, the …

In animals, heterotrimeric G proteins, comprising α-, β-and γ-subunits, perceive extracellular
stimuli through cell surface receptors, and transmit signals to ion channels, enzymes and …

During the past decade, much progress has been made toward understanding the
mechanisms underlying plant hormone activity, from perception to nuclear events. However …

Photosynthesis is the major process leading to primary production in the Biosphere. There is
a total of 7000bn tons of CO2 in the atmosphere and photosynthesis fixes more than 100bn …
