A large data array on plant gene expression accumulated thanks to comparative omic
studies directs the efforts of researchers to the specific or fine effects of the target gene …

Xylem tracheary elements (TEs) synthesize patterned secondary cell walls (SCWs) to
reinforce against the negative pressure of water transport. VASCULAR-RELATED NAC …

Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) plays an important role in various biological processes;
however, its role in plant secondary metabolism, especially in the biosynthesis of tropane …

In plants with C3 photosynthesis, increasing the diffusion conductance for CO2 from the
substomatal cavity to chloroplast stroma (mesophyll conductance) can improve the …

Correct subcellular targeting is crucial for protein function. Protein location can be visualized
in vivo by fusion to a fluorescent protein (FP). Nevertheless, despite intense engineering …

Breeding for flower cold resistance is a priority for flower breeding research in northern
China. The identification of cold resistance genes will not only provide genetic resources for …

Leaf senescence is the final stage of leaf development preceding death, which involves a
significant cellular metabolic transition from anabolism to catabolism. Several processes …

1-Deoxy-d-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase and 1-deoxy-d-xylulose-5-phosphate
reductoismerase are considered two key enzymes in the 2-C-methyl-d-erythritol-4 …

The ATP-driven bicarbonate transporter 1 (BCT1), a four-component complex in the
cyanobacterial CO2-concentrating mechanism, could enhance photosynthetic CO2 …

Flavonol synthase gene (FLS) is a member of the 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase (2-
ODD) superfamily and plays an important role in plant flavonoids biosynthetic pathways …
