Integrative analysis of transcriptome and miRNAome reveals molecular mechanisms regulating pericarp thickness in sweet corn during kernel development

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Pericarp thickness affects the edible quality of sweet corn (Zea mays L. saccharata Sturt.). Therefore, breeding varieties with a thin pericarp is important for the quality breeding of sweet corn. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the pericarp

New Growth-Related Features of Wheat Grain Pericarp Revealed by Synchrotron-Based X-ray Micro-Tomography and 3D Reconstruction

open access: yesPlants, 2023
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important crops as it provides 20% of calories and proteins to the human population. To overcome the increasing demand in wheat grain production, there is a need for a higher grain yield, and this can be ...

Maize Grain Germination Is Accompanied by Acidification of the Environment

open access: yesAgronomy, 2023
Seed germination is a complex process involving several stages, starting with the imbibition of water and ending with the emergence of the radicle. In the current study, we address the observation of an unexpected pH shift during the imbibition of maize ...

Effect of Aqueous n-Butanol Treatments on Shelf-Life Extension of Longkong Fruit during Ambient Storage

open access: yesHorticulturae, 2023
The pericarp of the Longkong fruit rapidly browns during ambient storage, typically reducing its shelf life to between 3 and 7 days. Recently, n-butanol has demonstrated a promising effect in preventing this deterioration, extending the shelf life of ...
