This review presents a framework for evaluating how cells, tissues, organs, and whole plants
perform both hydraulic and mechanical functions. The morphological alterations that affect …

Genetic engineering of trees to improve productivity, wood quality, and resistance to biotic
and abiotic stresses has been the primary goal of the forest biotechnology community for …

African oil palm has the highest productivity amongst cultivated oleaginous crops. Species
can constitute a single crop capable to fulfill the growing global demand for vegetable oils …

Semidwarfing genes have improved crop yield by reducing height, improving lodging
resistance, and allowing plants to allocate more assimilates to grain growth. In wheat …

Survival and productivity of perennial plants in temperate zones are dependent on robust
responses to prolonged and seasonal cycles of unfavorable conditions. Here we report …

Gibberellins (GAs) have been shown to be involved in the tolerance of plants to a range of
environmental stresses. However, the physiological and metabolic implications of altered …

Background Studies have indicated that graphene oxide (GO) could regulated Brassica
napus L. root growth via abscisic acid (ABA) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). To study the …

Climate change (CC) is already impacting Arabica coffee cultivation in the intertropical zone.
To deal with this situation, it is no longer possible to manage this crop using industrial …

Little is known about the genetic factors controlling tree size and shape. Here, we studied
the genetic basis for a recessive brachytic dwarfism trait (dw) in peach (Prunus persica) that …

Dwarfism is an agronomic trait that has substantial effects on crop yield, lodging resistance,
planting density, and a high harvest index. Ethylene plays an important role in plant growth …
