Genome editing by sequence-specific nucleases (SSNs) has revolutionized biology by
enabling targeted modifications of genomes. Although routine plant genome editing …

Harvested fruit and vegetables are perishable, subject to desiccation, show increased
respiration during ripening, and are colonized by postharvest fungal pathogens. Induced …

Genes in the ERF family encode transcriptional regulators with a variety of functions
involved in the developmental and physiological processes in plants. In this study, a …

Transcriptional control of the expression of stress-responsive genes is a crucial part of the
plant response to a range of abiotic and biotic stresses. Research carried out in the past few …

Nested association mapping (NAM) offers power to resolve complex, quantitative traits to
their causal loci. The maize NAM population, consisting of 5,000 recombinant inbred lines …

A new member of the AP2/ERF transcription factor family, GmERF3, was isolated from
soybean. Sequence analysis showed that GmERF3 contained an AP2/ERF domain of 58 …

Abstract Submergence-1 (Sub 1), a major quantitative trait locus affecting tolerance to
complete submergence in lowland rice (Oryza sativa), contains two or three ethylene …

Single-walled carbon nanohorns (SWCNHs) are a unique carbon-based nanomaterial with
