Brassinosteroids (BRs) are group of plant steroidal hormones that modulate developmental
processes and also have pivotal role in stress management. Biosynthesis of BRs takes …

In the era of climate change, due to increased incidences of a wide range of various
environmental stresses, especially biotic and abiotic stresses around the globe, the …

Heterosis is a common biological phenomenon in nature. It substantially contributes to the
biomass yield and grain yield of plants. Moreover, this phenomenon results in high …

Rice is an important staple crop as it feeds about a half of the earth's population. It is known
to be sensitive to a range of abiotic stresses which result in significant decline in crop …

The formation of lateral branches has an important and fundamental contribution to the
remarkable developmental plasticity of plants, which allows plants to alter their architecture …

A major challenge of plant biology is to unravel the genetic basis of complex traits. We took
advantage of recent technical advances in high‐throughput phenotyping in conjunction with …

Metalloid contamination in the environment is one of the serious concerns posing threat to
our ecosystems. Excess of metalloid concentrations (including antimony, arsenic, boron …

Litter traits are critical economic variables in the pig industry as they represent a production
indicator that can serve to determine sow fertility. In this study, a genome-wide association …

Background Curds are the main edible organs, which exhibit remarkable yield heterosis in F
