Gibberellins are produced by all vascular plants and several fungal and bacterial species
that associate with plants as pathogens or symbionts. In the 60 years since the first …

One of the most chronic constraints to crop production is the grain yield reduction near the
crop harvest stage by lodging worldwide. This is more prevalent in cereal crops, particularly …

Grain weight is one of the major factors determining single plant yield production of rice and
other cereal crops. Research has begun to reveal the regulatory mechanisms underlying …

Leaf morphology influences photosynthesis, transpiration, and ultimately crop yield.
However, the molecular mechanism of leaf development is still not fully understood. Here …

Background Pod size is an important yield target trait for peanut breeding. However, the
molecular mechanism underlying the determination of peanut pod size still remains unclear …

Parallel veins are characteristic of monocots, including grasses (Poaceae). Therefore, how
parallel veins develop as the leaf grows in the medial–lateral (ML) dimension is a key …

Abstract WOX (WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX) is a family of homeodomain-containing
transcription factors in plants. WOX proteins maintain the activity of different types of …

Plant stature is one important factor that affects the productivity of peach orchards. However,
little is known about the molecular mechanism (s) underlying the dwarf phenotype of peach …

Plant architecture involves important agronomic traits affecting crop yield, resistance to
lodging, and fitness for mechanical harvesting in Brassica napus. Breeding high-yield …

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is an important perennial, noninvasive, tall ornamental
grass that adds color and texture to gardens and landscapes. Moreover, switchgrass has …
