▪ Abstract Currently, genetic variation is probably the most important basic resource for plant
biology. In addition to the variation artificially generated by mutants in model plants, naturally …

Advances in genome editing technologies have enabled manipulation of genomes at the
single base level. These technologies are based on programmable nucleases (PNs) that …

Herbal drug technology is used for converting botanical materials into medicines, where
standardization and quality control with proper integration of modern scientific techniques …

Determining true genetic dissimilarity between individuals is an important and decisive point
for clustering and analysing diversity within and among populations, because different …

Summarizing landmark research, Volume 2 of this essential series furnishes information on
the availability of germplasm resources that breeders can exploit for producing high-yielding …

Heterosis has been widely used in agriculture to increase yield and to broaden adaptability
of hybrid varieties and is applied to an increasing number of crop species. We performed a …

The initial stages of preprotein import into chloroplasts are mediated by the receptor GTPase
Toc159. In Arabidopsis thaliana, Toc159 is encoded by a small gene family: atTOC159 …

Codonopsis genus is comprised of species that are perennial plants primarily distributed
across all east, southeast, and Central Asia. The most famous species of Codonopsis are C …

The ease with which arbitrarily amplified dominant (AAD) markers such as RAPD, AFLP and
ISSR could be used to generate vast quantities of data led to their rapid application …
