This study investigates how plants protect themselves, specifically looking at a group of
genes called Xyloglucan Endotransglucosylase/Hydrolase (XTH) in cucumber plants. A …

Drought conditions severely curtail the ability of plants to accumulate biomass due to the
closure of stomata and the decrease of photosynthetic assimilation rate. Additionally, there is …

Appropriate root system architecture (RSA) can improve alfalfa yield, yet its genetic basis
remains largely unexplored. This study evaluated six RSA traits in 171 alfalfa genotypes …

Introduction Brassica juncea is a major oilseed crop of Brassica. The seed weight is one of
yield components in oilseed Brassica crops. Research on the genetic mechanism of seed …

Early maturity is one of the primary traits associated with fiber yield, fiber quality and
