Auxin is the 'growth hormone'and modulation of its concentration correlates with changes in
photosynthesis and respiration, influencing the cellular energy budget for biosynthesis and …

The mechanisms underlying heterosis have long remained a matter of debate, despite its
agricultural importance. How changes in transcriptional networks during plant development …

Good field establishment provides the foundation for a productive crop. Achieving an
adequate seedling population ensures the crop forms an effective canopy to capture light …

Chinese cabbage is an important vegetable in Asia, and high-yielding hybrids are needed to
cope with the growing demand. A comparative transcriptome profiling was conducted to …

Arabidopsis thaliana hybrids have similar properties to hybrid crops, with greater biomass
relative to the parents. We asked whether the greater biomass was due to increased …

Heterosis or hybrid vigor has been used widely for more than a decade in Canola (Brassica
napus) production. Canola hybrids show heterosis in a variety of traits compared to parents …

Plant grafting, the ancient practice of cutting and joining different plants, is gaining popularity
as an elegant way to generate chimeras that combine desirable traits. Grafting was originally …

The study aimed to determine the effects of ethephon (150 μL/L, 200 μL/L, and 250 μL/L)
and 1-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA; 50 μL/L, 100 μL/L, and 150 μL/L) applications at 'red …

Key message Flag leaf heterosis of inter-subspecific hybrid rice is suggested to be related to
leaf area, gene expression pattern and allele-specific expression, putatively related to DNA …

The effective role of different auxins on adventitious roots (Ars) formation of stem cuttings
relies on several factors including type of auxins, concentrations and the intermixing …
