Physiology of Chatham Island forget-me-not (Myosotidium hortensia) seed : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Seed Science and Technology at Massey University [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Chatham Island forget-me-not (Myosotidium hortensia (Decne) Baillon) is endemic to the Chatham Islands where it is mainly confined to the outer islands. There is speculation that seed of M.

Mapping and Functional Characterization of Homologous Genes AhSUCA06 and AhSUCA16 Underlying Sucrose, Oil and Protein Contents in Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oilseed and cash crop, and seed sucrose content (SSC), seed oil content (SOC) and seed protein content (SPC) are key determinants of seed flavour, texture, and overall quality. Identifying quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and candidate genes associated with SSC, SOC and SPC is therefore of ...

Influence of homoeologous chromosomes on gene-dosage effects in allohexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

open access: yes, 1978
Gene-dosage responses for a group of six wheat endosperm proteins have been investigated by using compensated nulli-tetrasomic lines of cv. Chinese Spring. Practically linear dosage responses have been observed for all the proteins.

MicroRNAs Regulate Grain Development in Rice

open access: yesAgronomy
Ensuring food security is a challenge for humans. Rice grain yield and quality must urgently be increased to overcome this challenge. MicroRNA (miRNA) is an important regulatory module in plant development and stress responses.

On the frequency and transmitted chromosome alterations and gene mutations induced by atomic bomb radiations in maize [PDF]

open access: yes, 1948
Samples of maize seed of the single cross L289 X I205 were placed on some of the ships within the target area at Bikini at the time of the atomic bomb test of July 1, 1946. At about the same time Dr. L. F.

Early Discrimination of Maternal Haploid and Diploid Maize (Zea mays L.) Seedlings Using Morphological Traits and Random Forest Classifier

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Doubled haploid (DH) technology has been widely adopted in maize (Zea mays L.) breeding programs due to its ability to reduce breeding cycle time and optimize costs. Early ploidy identification is essential for maximizing the efficiency of DH production, particularly prior to chromosome doubling.

Contextualized Metabolic Modelling Revealed Factors Affecting Isoflavone Accumulation in Soybean Seeds

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isoflavones, secondary metabolites with numerous health benefits, are predominantly found in legume seeds, especially soybean; however, their contents in domesticated soybean seeds are highly variable. Wild soybeans are known for higher seed isoflavone contents than cultivars. Here we used experimental and modelling approaches on wild soybean (

Polar Lipid and Fatty Acid Profiles of Oat Groats Substantially Influenced by Field Management: A Comparison of Cultivars, Sowing Times and Fertilizer Composition

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The polar lipids in oat grains are crucial due to their biological functions, nutritional quality, potential use in food flavour and processing, the protection they provide against biotic and abiotic stresses, and their ability to act as cellular signalling molecules.

Transcript correlation analysis for the identification of novel plant genes involved in iron metabolism and beyond: what next?

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Transcript correlation analysis allowed the identification of several key nodes in the complex regulatory network of plant iron metabolism. Abstract Arabidopsis thaliana was the first plant genome to be fully sequenced, almost a quarter of a century ago, thanks to The Arabidopsis Genome Initiative, with contributions from scientists worldwide.
