Ethnopharmacological relevance Coix lacryma-jobi var. ma-yuen (Romanet du Caillaud)
Stapf is a plant of the genus Coix in the Gramineae family. Coix seed is cultivated in various …

Small RNAs (sRNAs), mainly including miRNAs and siRNAs, are ubiquitous in eukaryotes.
sRNAs mostly negatively regulate gene expression via (post-) transcriptional gene silencing …

Seed priming is an effective technology of promoting seed germination and plant growth in
crop production. This study investigated IAA as a seed priming agent in cotton, because …

Cysteine-rich receptor-like-kinases (CRKs), a transmembrane subfamily of receptor-like
kinase, play crucial roles in plant adaptation. As such cotton is the major source of fiber for …

Cotton crop is considered valuable for its fiber and seed oil. Cotton fiber is a single-celled
outgrowth from the ovule epidermis, and it is a very dynamic cell for study. It has four distinct …

Plant growth and development are controlled by a complex gene regulatory network, which
is currently a focal point of research. It has been established that epigenetic factors play a …

Background Cotton is not only a major textile fiber crop but also a vital oilseed, industrial,
and forage crop. Oleosins are the structural proteins of oil bodies, influencing their size and …

In plants, small RNAs have been recognized as key genetic and epigenetic regulators of
development. Small RNAs are usually 20 to 30 nucleotides in length and they control, in a …

Background Cotton is an important cash crop. The fiber length has always been a hot spot,
but multi-factor control of fiber quality makes it complex to understand its genetic basis …

Background Cotton fiber is an important natural resource for textile industry and an excellent
model for cell biology study. Application of glabrous mutant cotton and high-throughput …
