IntroductionNAC (NAM, ATAF, and CUC) transcription factor family, one of the important switches of transcription networks in plants, functions in plant growth, development, and stress resistance. Night lily (Hemerocallis citrina) is an important hortic…
This article addresses the physical mechanics of gametogenesis in vascular plants. The earliest events that initiate reproductive differentiation in the land plants are not well understood. How are the few cells that initiate reproductive differentiati…
Soil nematodes are the most abundant soil metazoans, occupying multiple trophic levels in the soil food web and playing an important role in soil function. Research on the biogeographic distribution patterns of soil nematode communities and their drive…
Sediment accretion (burial) and nutrient enrichment may exert a synergistic influence on the growth and distribution of macrophytes in floodplain wetlands; however, this phenomenon has rarely been examined. In this study, we investigated the effects of…
Bioregenerative food systems that routinely produce fresh, safe-to-eat crops onboard spacecraft can supplement the nutrition and variety of shelf-stable spaceflight food systems for use during future exploration missions (i.e., low earth orbit, Mars tr…
The duration of flowering and maturity is an important agricultural trait determining the suitability of a variety for cultivation in the target region. In the present study, we used genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) to search for loci associated…
IntroductionDue to limited arable land resources, intercropping has emerged as an efficient and sustainable production method for increasing total grain yield per unit land area. Maize–soybean strip intercropping (MSSI) technology is being widely promo…
Exploring how environmental changes induce alterations in the phenology matching between plants and pollinators is significant for predicting species’ reproductive output and population dynamics. Our study focused on the invasive poisonous weed Steller…
IntroductionSpecies of Botryosphaeriaceae fungi are relevant pathogens of almond causing trunk cankers, extensive gumming, necrosis of internal tissues and plant dieback and dead, threatening almond productivity. A novel triplex quantitative real-time …
