In plants, DNA methylation (ie chromatin modification) is important for various biological
processes, including growth, development and flowering. Because 'Fuji'apple trees are …

The folate content of foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is higher than that of other major crops.
Polyglutamylation of folate can enhance its compartmentalization, reduce its transport …

Folates are essential to the maintenance of normal life activities in almost all organisms.
Proton-coupled folate transporter (PCFT), belonging to the major facilitator superfamily, is …

In tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), mutations in the gene encoding the R2R3‐MYB117
transcription factor elicit trifoliate leaves and initiate the formation of axillary meristems; …

Sugar limitation has dramatic consequences on plant cells, which include cell metabolism
and transcriptional reprogramming, and the recycling of cellular components to maintain …

Foxtail millet is a C 4 crop rich in folate (FA). This study explores the roles of the 4-amino-4-
deoxychorismate lyase (ADCL)–a member of the transaminase IV group of enzymes–in FA …

Cotton plant architecture, including fruit branch formation and flowering pattern, influences
plant light exploitation, cotton yield and planting cost. DNA methylation has been widely …

Understanding the persistence of genetic variation within populations has long been a goal
of evolutionary biology. One promising route toward achieving this goal is using population …

Background The flowering transition which is controlled by a complex and intricate gene
regulatory network plays an important role in the reproduction for offspring of plants. It is a …

The mechanism underlying folate degradation in foxtail millet grains remains unclear. Here,
we identified SiFBP (Setaria italica folate-binding protein) from foxtail millet. A phylogenetic …
