Root and tuber crops have been an important part of human nutrition since the early days of
humanity, providing us with essential carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamins. Today, they are …

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) refer to functional cellular RNAs molecules longer than
200 nucleotides in length. Unlike microRNAs, which have been widely studied, little is …

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing is a powerful technology that has been used for the
genetic modification of a number of crop species. In order to evaluate the efficacy of …

Sweetpotato yield depends on a change in the developmental fate of adventitious roots into
storage-roots. The mechanisms underlying this developmental switch are still unclear. We …

We present a method for x-ray phase-contrast imaging and metrology applications based on
the sample-induced modulation and subsequent computational demodulation of a random …

Sweetpotato is the seventh most important food crop in the world. It is mainly used for human
food, animal feed, and for manufacturing starch and alcohol. This crop, a highly …

The initiation and development of storage roots (SRs) are intricately regulated by a
transcriptional regulatory network. One key challenge is to accurately pinpoint the tipping …

Nanoparticles based on nanotechnology and biotechnology have emerged as efficient
carriers for various biopharmaceutical agents including proteins and genes. In particular …

Background Our understanding of the pig transcriptome is limited. RNA transcript diversity
among nine tissues was assessed using poly (A) selected single-molecule long-read …

Main conclusion Overexpression of the leaf color (Lc) gene in Ma bamboo substantially
increased the accumulation level of anthocyanin, and improved plant tolerance to cold and …
