The cytokinins have been implicated in many facets of plant growth and development
including cell division and differentiation, shoot and root growth, apical dominance …

Polyploidization has provided much genetic variation for plant adaptive evolution, but the
mechanisms by which the molecular evolution of polyploid genomes establishes genetic …

The Brassica genus encompasses three diploid and three allopolyploid genomes, but a
clear understanding of the evolution of agriculturally important traits via polyploidy is lacking …

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a globally important crop, accounting for 20 per cent of
the calories consumed by humans. Major efforts are underway worldwide to increase wheat …

We report the annotation and analysis of the draft genome sequence of Brassica rapa
accession Chiifu-401-42, a Chinese cabbage. We modeled 41,174 protein coding genes in …

We introduce and review Brassica crop improvement via trigenomic bridges. Six
economically important Brassica species share three major genomes (A, B, and C), which …

Background Brassica species include both vegetable and oilseed crops, which are very
important to the daily life of common human beings. Meanwhile, the Brassica species …

Clonally reproducing plants have the potential to bear a significantly greater mutational load
than sexually reproducing species. To investigate this possibility, we examined the breadth …

The species Brassica rapa includes various vegetable crops. Production of these vegetable
crops is usually impaired by heat stress. Some microRNAs (miRNAs) in Arabidopsis have …

Leucine‐rich repeat receptor‐like proteins (LRR‐RLP s) are highly adaptable parts of the
signalling apparatus for extracellular detection of plant pathogens. Resistance to blackleg …
