Polyploidy occurs prevalently and plays an important role during plant speciation and
evolution. This phenomenon suggests polyploidy could develop novel features that enable …

Double fertilization in angiosperms results in the formation of a second zygote, the fertilized
endosperm. Unlike its embryo sibling, the endosperm is a transient structure that eventually …

Being sessile organisms, plants suffer from various abiotic stresses including low
temperature. In particular, male reproductive development of plants is extremely sensitive to …

Lateral roots (LRs) are a main component of the root system of rice (Oryza sativa) that
increases root surface area, enabling efficient absorption of water and nutrients. However …

Bioenergy grass provides an important biomass resource for biofuel production worldwide.
The internode elongation of grass stems is central to biomass production for biofuels; …

Histone modification plays a significant role in plant responses to abiotic stress. However,
there are little scientific studies available on the involvement of dynamic changes in histone …

The persistent nature of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) in the environment severely affects
plant growth and yield. Conversely, plants acquire zinc (Zn) from the soil for their vital …

The transcript levels of the phytoglobin (Pgb) genes Pgb1 and Pgb3, and the protein content
of Pgb1 were responsive to anaerobiosis in several tissues of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) …

Hydrogen gas (H 2) has been recently regarded as a novel gaseous signaling molecule that
performs multiple functional roles in plant. Here, we demonstrate that hydrogen rich water …

Gibberellins (GAs) are a group of plant hormones that play important roles in various
processes. Previous studies demonstrated that GA can increase the cellulose content and …
