Preference Test of Plutella xylostella Larvae upon DMNT Treatment

Bio-Protocol, 2021
We describe a method to test the preference of insects in response to (3E)-4,8-dimethyl-1,3,7-nonatriene (DMNT). We use a device that includes a horizontal glass tube, two grooves (with activated carbon), air flow, rubber stoppers/tubes, transparent ...

Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals important roles of nonadditive genes in maize hybrid An’nong 591 under heat stress

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Heterosis is the superior performance of F1 hybrids relative to their parental lines for a wide range of traits. In this study, expression profiling and heterosis associated genes were analyzed by RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) in seedlings of the ...

Effects of 15-year straw incorporation on soil carbon composition and microbial community under wheat–maize rotation system in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain

BMC Plant Biology
Background Straw incorporation is an effective agronomic practice for improving soil fertility and crop yield. In this study, we investigated the effects of the different straw incorporation modes on soil organic carbon components, enzyme activities, and

Cisgenesis: an important sub-invention for traditional plant breeding companies

, 2009
Modern plant breeding is highly dependent on new technologies to master future problems. More traits have to be combined, frequently originating from wild species. Traditional breeding is connected with linkage drag problems.

Whole-Genome Duplication and Purifying Selection Contributes to the Functional Redundancy of Auxin Response Factor (ARF) Genes in Foxtail Millet (Setaria italica L.)

International Journal of Genomics, 2021
Auxin response factors (ARFs) play crucial roles in auxin-mediated response, whereas molecular genetics of ARF genes was seldom investigated in Setaria italica, an important crop and C4 model plant. In the present study, genome-wide evolutionary analysis
