Cotton is not only the most important source of renewal textile fibers, but also an excellent
model for studying cell fate determination and polyploidy effects on gene expression and …

Faba bean is an excellent candidate crop to provide nitrogen input into temperate
agricultural systems. However, its growth is hampered by several factors including …

Background Cotton fiber development undergoes rapid and dynamic changes in a single
cell type, from fiber initiation, elongation, primary and secondary wall biosynthesis, to fiber …

• Premise of the study: The genus Medicago, with about 87 species, includes the model
legume species M. truncatula, and a number of important forage species such as M. sativa …

Dwarf architecture is an important trait associated with plant yield, lodging resistance and
labor cost. Here, we aimed to identify a gene causing dwarfism in watermelon. The …

Optimizing plant architecture is an efficient approach for breeders to increase crop yields,
and phytohormones such as gibberellins (GAs) play an important role in controlling growth …

Bioactive gibberellic acids (GAs) are diterpenoid plant hormones that are biosynthesized
through complex pathways and control various aspects of growth and development …

polymorphisms among alfalfa populations recurrently selected for superior tolerance to …

Plant height is a vital agronomic trait that greatly determines crop yields because of the close
relationship between plant height and lodging resistance. Legumes play a unique role in the …

Plant height is an important agronomic trait that is closely related to biomass yield and crop
