Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate biotrophs that supply mineral nutrients to
the host plant in exchange for carbon derived from photosynthesis. Sucrose is the end …

Sugar translocation between cells and between subcellular compartments in plants requires
either plasmodesmata or a diverse array of sugar transporters. Interactions between plants …

DNA aptamers have been widely used as biosensors for detecting a variety of targets.
Despite decades of success, they have not been applied to monitor any targets in plants …

The primary root is the basic component of the root system and plays a key role in early
seedling growth in rice. Its growth is easily affected by environmental cues, such as salt …

Seed germination is a critical trait for the success of direct seeding in rice cultivation.
However, the underlying mechanism determining seed germination is largely unknown in …

Seed germination is vital for ensuring the continuity of life in spermatophyte. High-quality
seed germination usually represents good seedling establishment and plant production …

Membrane proteins have key functions in signal transduction, transport, and metabolism.
Therefore, deciphering the interactions between membrane proteins provides crucial …

Basic features of seed dormancy are illustrated. The seed overall regulatory network
governs seed metabolism and development, and it is coordinated by plant hormones. A …

Seed germination is an important stage of growth and reproduction and plays an important
role in the life cycle of spermatophyte. It is co-determined by both genetic and environmental …

Hypocotyl elongation directly affects the seedling establishment and soil-breaking after
