Sucrose metabolism plays pivotal roles in development, stress response, and yield
formation, mainly by generating a range of sugars as metabolites to fuel growth and …

Invertases (INVs) and pectin methylesterases (PMEs) are essential enzymes coordinating
carbohydrate metabolism, stress responses, and sugar signaling. INVs catalyzes the …

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

Soybean accounts for more than half of the global production of oilseed and more than a
quarter of the protein used globally for human food and animal feed. Soybean domestication …

Sucrose is the main photosynthesis product of plants and the fundamental carbon skeleton
monomer and energy supply for seed formation and development. Drought stress induces …

As an evolutionary strategy, plants overproduce ovaries as a safety net for survival, with
those losing in the competition for resources being aborted. Grain abortion is, however …

Plant growth and development are modulated by concerted actions of a variety of signaling
molecules. In recent years, evidence has emerged on the roles of sugar and auxin signals …

High night temperature (HNT) is a major constraint to sustaining global rice production
under future climate. Physiological and biochemical mechanisms were elucidated for HNT …

Soybean (Glycine max) seed is primarily composed of a mature embryo that provides a
major source of protein and oil for humans and other animals. Early in development, the tiny …

Rice grain yield and quality are predicted to be highly vulnerable to global warming. Five
genotypes including heat-tolerant and susceptible checks, a heat-tolerant near-isogenic line …
