The Ectopic Expression of Btr2 in Aegilops tauschii Switches the Disarticulation Layer From Above to Below the Rachis Node

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Seed dispersal among wild species belonging to the tribe Triticeae is typically achieved by the formation of a brittle rachis. The trait relies on the development of a disarticulation layer, most frequently above the rachis node (resulting in wedge type ...

Re-acquisition of the brittle rachis trait via a transposon insertion in domestication gene Q during wheat de-domestication.

New Phytologist, 2019
De-domestication is a unique evolutionary process during which crops re-acquire wild-like traits to survive and persist in agricultural fields without the need for human cultivation.

Aspects Tomodensitométriques des Traumatismes Rachidiens chez les Orpailleurs Traditionnels au Mali

Health Research in Africa
RESUME Introduction. Au Mali, depuis l’introduction en 1999 de la tomodensitométrie parmi les moyens d’exploration, aucune étude ne s’est penchée sur l’aspect tomodensitométrique des traumatismes rachidiens d’orpaillage traditionnel. L’Objectif de notre

TKC‐MC: An Effective Strategy for Generating Heritable Heterozygous Mutations in Essential Genes in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The CRISPR/Cas9 gene‐editing technology has been widely used in defining gene functions and crop improvement. However, some genes are essential for plant growth and development. Loss‐of‐function homozygous mutations in essential genes lead to plant death or sterility.

The Advantaged Salt Inducible Suaeda salsa SsNRT2.5 and Its Promoter Significantly Enhance Nitrate Transport Efficiency and Salt Tolerance in Transgenic Arabidopsis and Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient nitrogen (N) uptake is critical for crop yield, but soil salinization inhibits plant nitrogen acquisition. In this study, the nitrate (NO3−) transporter gene SsNRT2.5 and its promoter from the halophyte Suaeda salsa was investigated to elucidate the functional role in NO3− transport under salinity and low NO3−–N conditions.

A Hierarchical VvbHLH30‐VvERF70‐VvACS2 Module Orchestrates Ethylene Biosynthesis and Cold Adaptation in Grapevine

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ethylene is a key gaseous phytohormone that plays crucial roles in regulating plant growth, development and stress responses. However, ethylene‐associated biosynthetic and transcriptional regulatory mechanisms governing cold‐adaptation responses in plants remain poorly understood.

Utilizing Multivariate Genomic Prediction to Predict Wheat Spike Characteristics in Soft Red Winter Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genomic prediction (GP) can increase genetic gain by allowing for the selection of traits earlier in the breeding cycle. Spike morphology traits are of interest because of their relationship with grain yield. To better understand the prediction capabilities of agronomic traits and spike architecture traits, a population of 594 soft red winter ...

A new helical crossed-fibre structure of β-keratin in flight feathers and its biomechanical implications. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The feather aerofoil is unequalled in nature. It is comprised of a central rachis, serial paired branches or barbs, from which arise further branches, the barbules.

Genetic variability and character association of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) for yield and yield component traits at Wolaita, southern region of Ethiopia

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Genetic variability plays a crucial role in plant breeding programs aimed at improving yield and yield‐related traits. The objective of this study was to assess the genetic variability and character association among common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes for yield and related agronomic traits.
