High-density genetic map construction and QTL mapping of a zigzag-shaped stem trait in tea plant (Camellia sinensis)

BMC Plant Biology
The highly unique zigzag-shaped stem phenotype in tea plants boasts significant ornamental value and is exceptionally rare. To investigate the genetic mechanism behind this trait, we developed BC1 artificial hybrid populations.

Diversity of the Ry sto gene conferring resistance to potato virus Y in wild relatives of potato

BMC Plant Biology
Background Potato virus Y (PVY) is among the economically most damaging viral pathogen in production of potato (Solanum tuberosum) worldwide. The gene Ry sto derived from the wild potato relative Solanum stoloniferum confers extreme resistance to PVY ...

Stacked mutations in wheat homologues of rice SEMI-DWARF1 confer a novel semi-dwarf phenotype

BMC Plant Biology
Background Semi-dwarfing alleles are used widely in cereals to confer improved lodging resistance and assimilate partitioning. The most widely deployed semi-dwarfing alleles in rice and barley encode the gibberellin (GA)-biosynthetic enzyme GA 20 ...
