Biofuel is the presently needed potential energy reservoir as an alternative to wearying fossil
fuel-based technology. Second generation lignocellulose is considered to be the most …

Many applications in plant biology requires editing genomes accurately including correcting
point mutations, incorporation of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and introduction …

Durum wheat is one of most important cereal crops that serves as a staple dietary
component for humans and domestic animals. It provides antioxidants, proteins, minerals …

Genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) have developed into a valuable approach for
identifying the genetic basis of phenotypic variation. In this article, we provide an overview of …

Delayed sowing mitigates lodging in wheat. However, the mechanism underlying the
enhanced lodging resistance in wheat has yet to be fully elucidated. Field experiments were …

Lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose are the three main components of the plant cell wall and
can impact stalk quality by affecting cell wall structure and strength. In this study, we …

The COBRA gene encodes a plant-specific glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored
protein (GAP), which plays an important role in cell wall cellulose deposition. In this study, a …

Background Genetic mapping of phenotypic traits generally focuses on a single time point,
but biomass accumulates continuously during plant development. Resolution of the …

Cellulose is the primary determinant of mechanical strength in plant tissues. Late-season
lodging is inversely related to the amount of cellulose in a unit length of the stem. Wheat is …

(1, 3; 1, 4)-β-Glucan is a non-cellulosic polysaccharide required for correct barley grain fill
and plant development, with industrial relevance in the brewing and the functional food …
