Spike architecture influences grain yield in wheat. We report the map-based cloning of a
gene determining the number of spikelet nodes per spike in common wheat. The cloned …

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

Food shortages arise more frequently owing to unpredictable crop yield losses caused by
biotic and abiotic stresses. With advances in molecular biology and marker technology, a …

In wheat (Triticum aestivum), early maturity is desired to avoid the hot and dry summer
season, especially in view of climate change. Here, we report that Ta E3V1, a C3H2C3 …

Abstract Background The WOX (WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX) gene family encodes a
class of transcription factors that are unique to green plants, where they are involved in …

Vernalization genes underlying dramatic differences in flowering time between spring wheat
and winter wheat have been studied extensively, but little is known about genes that …

Using Phellodendron chinense seedlings as material, and treated with different
concentrations of exogenous 6-Benzylaminopurine (6-BA) and α-naphthyacetic acid (NAA) …

A key strategy to increase plant productivity is to improve intrinsic organ growth. Some of the
regulatory networks underlying organ growth and development, as well as the …

Leaves and flowers are crucial for the growth and development of higher plants. In this study
we identified a mutant with narrow leaflets and early flowering (nlef) in an ethyl …

Programmed cell death (PCD) and apoptosis have key functions in development and
disease resistance in diverse organisms; however, the induction of necrosis remains poorly …
