A flavonol synthase (FLS) gene, GhFLS1, was screened out increasing salt resistance in cotton

Environmental Sciences Europe, 2023
Background Flavonols play important roles in antioxidation and anticancer activities, longevity, and cardiovascular protection. Flavonol synthase (FLS) is a key enzyme for flavonol synthesis.

Combining genetic and genomics approaches for fiber quality improvement in tetraploid cotton [PDF]

, 2011
Cotton fibers are the premier natural fibers for textile production. The two tetraploid species, Gossypium barbadense and G. hirsutum, differ significantly in their fiber properties, the former having much longer, finer and stronger fibers.

Forage Plant Host and Early Feeding Choices Affect Spodoptera litura Feeding, Development and Egg‐Laying

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We assessed Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) performance on five common pasture plant species. Larvae consumed more dock, plantain and chicory per day than red or white clover, but with lower conversion efficiencies. Feeding on red clover reduced weights and egg laying, and lengthened development times compared with plantain.

Identification and function analysis of GABA branch three gene families in the cotton related to abiotic stresses

BMC Plant Biology
γ -aminobutyric acid (GABA) is closely related to the growth, development and stress resistance of plants. Combined with the previous study of GABA to promote the cotton against abiotic stresses, the characteristics and expression patterns of GABA branch

International genetic, cytogenetic and germplasm resources for cotton genomics and genetic improvement [PDF]

, 2008
A general understanding of the nature, uses and need of cotton germplasm collections is important to maintaining support for them and their utilization. Such support is vital to addressing the future challenges and needs of cotton, which will be many and

Identification of molecular markers associated to new sources of resistance to the root-knot nematode in cotton : S02T04 [PDF]

, 2013
The root-knot nematode (RKN) Meloidogyne incognita is a major constraint in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production in numerous countries. Control of RKN has been hampered by the lack of options for crop rotation and even more, by the lack of high ...

Surviving a Genome Collision: Genomic Signatures of Allopolyploidization in the Recent Crop Species [PDF]

, 2017
Polyploidization has played a major role in crop plant evolution, leading to advantageous traits that have been selected by humans. Here, we describe restructuring patterns in the genome of Brassica napus L., a recent allopolyploid species.

Towards an integrated molecular understanding of plant hormones

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review offers a comprehensive overview of the nine plant hormones, delving into their biosynthesis, transport, signaling and crosstalk mechanisms. Because the complexity of plant hormonal control goes beyond these core elements, additional specific features are discussed. Lastly, this review highlights how fundamental insights drive hormonal‐based

Are plants with anti-cancer activity resistant to crown gall? : A test of hypothesis [PDF]

, 2007
The Crown gall tumour assay (CGTA) is one of several bench top bioassays recommended for the rapid screening of plants with anti-cancer activity. The rationale for the use of the bioassay is that the tumorogenic mechanism initiated in plant tissues by ...
