Identification of sesame genomic variations from genome comparison of landrace and variety

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is one of the main oilseed crops, providing vegetable oil and protein to human. Landrace is the gene source of variety, carrying many desire alleles for genetic improvement. Despite the importance of sesame landrace, genome of

Selenium and agricultural crops [PDF]

African Journal of Agricultural Research, 2017
Higher plants have different capacities to accumulate and tolerate selenium, referred to as accumulative and non-accumulative plants. Selenium-accumulators plants may contain hundreds of times more selenium than non-accumulators even when grown in the same soil, or can also grow in soils with low and medium selenium reserves; while selenium non ...

Suppression of microRNA159 impacts multiple agronomic traits in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

BMC Plant Biology, 2017
Background microRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators in plant growth and development. miR159 is a conserved miRNA among different plant species and has various functions in plants. Studies on miR159 are mostly done on model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana.

Genome-Wide Association Study Discovered Favorable Single Nucleotide Poly Morphisms and Candidate Genes Associated with Ramie (Boehmeria Nivea L.) Colloidal Matters

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2023
Ramie (Boehmeria nivea L.) bast fiber is one of the most ancient natural fibers, which is used for textile only after degumming. Hemicellulose, pectin, and hydrotrope are the main colloidal matters in ramie fiber, which are removed when degumming ...
