Grain yield is a highly polygenic trait that is influenced by the environment and integrates
events throughout the life cycle of a plant. In wheat, the major grain yield components often …

Key message Recent genomic and functional genomics analyses have substantially
improved the understanding on gluten proteins, which are important determinants of wheat …

Grain filling and grain development are essential biological processes in the plant's life
cycle, eventually contributing to the final seed yield and quality in all cereal crops. Studies of …

Starch in wheat grain provides humans with carbohydrates and influences the quality of
wheaten food. However, no transcriptional regulator of starch synthesis has been identified …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the oldest cultivated crops and the second most
important food crop in the world. Seed germination is the key developmental process in …

Application of nitrogen (N) fertilizer usually increases grain yield (GY) and grain protein
content (GPC) simultaneously. But low GPC is desirable in soft wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) …

Plant serpins are a superfamily of protein inhibitors that have been continuously studied in
different species and have great biotechnological potential. However, despite ongoing …

Temperature is one of the pivotal factors influencing mycelium growth and fruit-body
formation of Flammulina velutipes. To gain insights into hyphae growth and fruit-body …

Waxy starch has an important influence on the qualities of breads. Generally, grain weight
and yield in waxy wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) are significantly lower than in bread wheat. In …

Resistant starch (RS), as a healthy dietary fiber, meets with great human favor along with the
rapid development and improvement of global living standards. RS shows direct effects in …
