The constant interactions between plants and pathogens in the environment and the
resulting outcomes are of significant importance for agriculture and agricultural scientists …

The natural timing devices of organisms, commonly known as biological clocks, are
composed of specific complex folding molecules that interact to regulate the circadian …

As sessile organisms, plants perceive, respond, and adapt to the environmental changes for
optimal growth and survival. The plant growth and fitness are enhanced by circadian clocks …

Abstract Background Structural variants (SVs) constitute a large proportion of the genomic
variation that results in phenotypic variation in plants. However, they are still a largely …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi help their host plant in the acquisition of nutrients, and this
association is itself impacted by soil nutrient levels. High phosphorus levels inhibit the …

Legumes are of great interest for sustainable agricultural production as they fix atmospheric
nitrogen to improve the soil. Medicago truncatula is a well-established model legume, and …

In species with compound leaves, the positions of leaflet primordium initiation are
associated with local peaks of auxin accumulation. However, the role of auxin during the late …

Patterned leaf coloration in plants generates remarkable diversity in nature, but the
underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear. Here, using Medicago truncatula leaf …

The development of an efficient and consistent callus-mediated in vitro regeneration
protocol is crucial for biotechnological approaches aimed at improving chickpea, an …

Stigma exsertion is an important agricultural trait that facilitates the application of heterosis in
crop breeding. Although several quantitative trait loci associated with stigma exsertion have …
