Since whole-genome sequencing of many crops has been achieved, crop functional
genomics studies have stepped into the big-data and high-throughput era. However …

Plant nitrogen (N), acquired mainly in the form of nitrate and ammonium from soil, dominates
growth and development, and high-yield crop production relies heavily on N fertilization. The …

Crop genetic improvement requires balancing complex tradeoffs caused by gene pleiotropy
and linkage drags, as exemplified by IPA1 (Ideal Plant Architecture 1), a typical pleiotropic …

Extensive allelic variation in agronomically important genes serves as the basis of rice
breeding. Here, we present a comprehensive map of rice quantitative trait nucleotides …

Contemporary climatic stress seriously affects rice production. Unfortunately, long-term
domestication and improvement modified the phytohormones network to achieve the …

Advances in DNA sequencing technology have sparked a genomics revolution, driving
breakthroughs in plant genetics and crop breeding. Recently, the focus has shifted from …

Omics technologies, namely genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and
phenomics, are becoming an integral part of virtually every commercial cereal crop breeding …

Here, we conducted a life-cycle study with rice grown in soil amended with different
concentrations (0, 1 and 10 mg kg− 1) of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for 120 days. A lower …

Pigeonpea, a tropical photosensitive crop, harbors significant diversity for days to flowering,
but little is known about the genes that govern these differences. Our goal in the current …

DELLA proteins are the negative regulators of the gibberellin (GA) signaling pathway. GAs
have a pervasive effect on plant physiology, influencing processes that span the entire life …
