Fragaria vesca, a diploid woodland strawberry with a small and sequenced genome, is an
excellent model for studying fruit development. The strawberry fruit is unique in that the …

Plant architecture is genetically controlled, but is influenced by environmental factors. Plants
have evolved adaptive mechanisms that allow changes in their architecture under stress, in …

The chlorophyll content of unripe fleshy fruits is positively correlated with the nutrient content
and flavor of ripe fruit. In tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit, the uniform ripening (u) locus …

In heterophyllous plants, leaf shape shows remarkable plasticity in response to
environmental conditions. However, transgenic studies of heterophylly are lacking and the …

Leaves are strikingly diverse in terms of shapes and complexity. The wild and cultivated
strawberry plants mostly develop trifoliate compound leaves, yet the underlying genetic …

The KNOX genes play important roles in maintaining SAM and regulating the development
of plant leaves. However, the TaKNOX genes in wheat are still not well understood …

Shoot-tip abortion is a very common phenomenon in some perennial woody plants and it
affects the height, architecture, and branch orientation of trees; however, little is currently …

The remarkable diversity of leaf forms allows plants to adapt to their living environment. In
general, leaf diversity is shaped by leaf complexity (compound or simple) and leaf margin …

Leaf angle (LA) is one of the core agronomic traits of maize, which controls maize yield by
affecting planting density. Previous studies have shown that the KN1 gene is closely related …

Productivity in strawberry is dependent on carbon assimilation in the leaves. The main
scenarios for climate change include an increase in the concentration of CO2 in the …
