Ting Hou et al.
DNAs from the cytoplasmic genomes often communicate with the nuclear genome during regulation, development, and evolution. However, the dynamics of cytonuclear interaction during crop domestication have still been rarely investigated. Here,...
ZmTCP23 regulates leaf angle and tassel branch angle formation in maize by modulating LG1 expression and abscisic acid catabolism [0.03%]
ZmTCP23通过调节LG1表达和脱落酸分解来调控玉米叶片夹角及雄穗分枝角度
Panpan Yang,Kailin Zeng,Hu Hailing Wang et al.
Panpan Yang et al.
Leaf angle (LA) and tassel branch angle (TBA) are two important agronomic traits influencing maize plant architecture, thereby affecting its adaptability to high-density planting. Liguleless1 (LG1) acts as a key regulator of LA and TBA, yet...
SOS2-FREE1 regulates SOS1 tonoplast sorting to promote Na+ compartmentalization in vacuole during salt stress response [0.03%]
拟南芥SOS2-FREE1通过调节SOS1至液泡膜的分拣促进盐胁迫下Na+的液泡隔离响应
Guoyong Liu,Xiang Yu,Yonglun Zeng et al.
Guoyong Liu et al.
Soil salinity significantly affects plant survival and limits crop productivity. Under salt stress, plants can transport sodium ions (Na+) out of cells and sequester them into vacuoles for detoxification. The salt excretion process is gover...
Nuclear phylogenomics provide evidence to clarify key morphological evolution and whole-genome duplication across rosids [0.03%]
核素系统基因组学研究揭示蔷薇类植物关键形态演化及全基因组倍性的变化
Yiyong Zhao,Di Yu,Wenyu Kuo et al.
Yiyong Zhao et al.
Rosids, comprising 90,000-120,000 species, form a large clade of angiosperms, including extensively studied families with many economically and scientifically important plants. They are also ecologically important, dominating many temperate...
MORF proteins: A small family regulating organellar RNA editing and beyond [0.03%]
MORF蛋白家族：调控器官RNA编辑等生理过程的多功能蛋白质家族
Jialong Li,Jiarui Yuan,Yanjun Jing et al.
Jialong Li et al.
In the chloroplasts/plastids and mitochondria of flowering plants, RNA editing alters hundreds of cytidines to uridines at specific sites mediated by the editosome. Over the past decade, Multiple Organellar RNA Editing Factor (MORF) protein...
Integrating morphological, anatomical, and physiological traits to explain elevational distributions in Himalayan steppe and alpine plants [0.03%]

Understanding plant adaptive strategies that determine species distributions and ecological optima is crucial for predicting responses to global change drivers. While functional traits provide mechanistic insights into distribution patterns...
Long-term climate warming and nitrogen deposition increase leaf epiphytic and endophytic bacterial diversity [0.03%]
长期气候变暖和氮沉降增加了叶片附生和内生细菌的多样性
Lu Bai,Yunzhuo Wen,Guodong Han et al.
Lu Bai et al.
Plant microbiome plays a vital role in plant fitness and ecosystem functioning, yet its response to global environmental change remains poorly understood. Using an 18-year field experiment, we investigated the effects of climate warming and...
