Molecular variation in a functionally divergent homolog of FCA regulates flowering time in Arabidopsis thaliana

Nature Communications, 2020
Natural variation represents valuable source for gene discovery. Here, the authors show that a homolog of Flowering Control Locus A (FCA) functions in an antagonistic manner to FCA in regulating Arabidopsis flowering time through interacting with CUL1-E3

Overcoming Reproductive Compromise Under Heat Stress in Wheat: Physiological and Genetic Regulation, and Breeding Strategy

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The reproductive compromise under heat stress is a major obstacle to achieve high grain yield and quality in wheat worldwide. Securing reproductive success is the key solution to sustain wheat productivity by understanding the physiological mechanism and

Heat shock transcription factors (Hsfs) in Taraxacum kok-saghyz Rodin: Identification, classification, phylogeny and expression analysis

Current Plant Biology, 2023
The Heat Shock Transcription Factor (Hsf) serves as a critical transcription factor in plants, exerting its function by binding to specific promoter regions in response to heat stress.

Contesting Genetic Knowledge-Practices in Livestock Breeding: Biopower, Biosocial Collectivities, and Heterogeneous Resistances [PDF]

, 2012
Cattle and sheep breeders in the UK and elsewhere increasingly draw on genetic techniques in order to make breeding decisions. Many breeders support such techniques, while others argue against them for a variety of reasons, including their preference for

Exogenous Abscisic Acid Affects the Heat Tolerance of Rice Seedlings by Influencing the Accumulation of ROS

Antioxidants, 2023
Heat stress (HS) has become one of the major abiotic stresses that severely constrain rice growth. Abscisic acid (ABA) plays an important role in plant development and stress response.
