In recent years high-THC (psychoactive) and low-THC (industrial hemp) type cannabis
(Cannabis sativa L.) have gained immense attention in medical, food, and a plethora of …

With the availability of DNA-based molecular markers during early 1980s and that of
sophisticated statistical tools in late 1980s and later, it became possible to identify genomic …

Upland cotton is the most important natural-fiber crop. The genomic variation of diverse
germplasms and alleles underpinning fiber quality and yield should be extensively explored …

Water deficit (drought stress) massively restricts plant growth and the yield of crops; reducing
the deleterious effects of drought is therefore of high agricultural relevance. Drought triggers …

The amount of cholesterol made by many plants is not negligible. Whereas
cholesterogenesis in animals was elucidated decades ago, the plant pathway has remained …

Activation of innate immunity by membrane-localized receptors is conserved across
eukaryotes. Plant genomes contain hundreds of such receptor-like genes and those …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important for cell-to-cell communication in animals. EVs also
play important roles in plant–microbe interactions, but the underlying mechanisms remain …

Cotton produces natural fiber for the textile industry. The genetic effects of genomic structural
variations underlying agronomic traits remain unclear. Here, we generate two high-quality …

Ethylene‐responsive factors (ERFs) are plant‐specific transcription factors involved in cold
stress response, and raffinose is known to accumulate in plants exposed to cold. However, it …

The Lamiaceae family is renowned for its terpenoid-based medicinal components, but
Leonurus, which has traditional medicinal uses, stands out for its alkaloid-rich composition …
