The chemical composition and biological capacities of berries depend on environmental
parameters, maturity, and location. The Andean blueberry (Vaccinium floribundum Kunth) …

To counter projected reductions in yields of the major crop barley, it is essential to elucidate
the mechanisms of its resilience. To assist such efforts, we collected grains from plants …

Drought is a major abiotic stress limiting the growth and production of apple trees worldwide.
The receptor-like kinase FERONIA is involved in plant growth, development and stress …

Sesame plays a vital role in food industry due to its high oil yield, antioxidant potential, and
substantial protein content. Notably, there are significant differences in amino acid …

Amino acid analysis is a vital part of analytical biochemistry. The increasing demand for low
nitrogen fertilization and for plant-based diets with balanced amino acid levels and …

Premise The origin of diversity is a fundamental biological question. Gene duplications are
one mechanism that provides raw material for the emergence of novel traits, but evolutionary …

Phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) are essential macronutrients necessary for plant growth
and development. OsPT4 is a high-affinity phosphate (Pi) transporter that has a positive …

Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a vital role in the induction of low temperature tolerance in plants.
To understand the molecular basis of this phenomenon, we performed a proteomic analysis …

The ability of seeds to restore their amino acid content and composition after the elimination
of the most abundant seed storage proteins (SSPs) is well‐documented, yet the underlying …

Maize (Zea mays) seeds are a good source of protein, despite being deficient in several
essential amino acids. However, eliminating the highly abundant but poorly balanced seed …
