Effects of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes and Nano-Silica on Root Development, Leaf Photosynthesis, Active Oxygen and Nitrogen Metabolism in Maize

Plants, 2023
Carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and nano-silica (nano-SiO2) are widely used in the field of life science because of their special physical and chemical properties. In this study, the effects of different concentrations of MWCNTs (0 mg·L−1, 200 mg·L−1, 400 mg·L−

Genome-wide association study uncovers major genetic loci associated with flowering time in response to active accumulated temperature in wild soybean population

BMC Genomics, 2022
Flowering time and active accumulated temperature (AAT) are two key factors that limit the expanded production especially for soybean across different regions. Wild soybean provides an important germplasm for functional genomics study in cultivar soybean.

Genome-Wide Association Study of Partial Resistance to P. sojae in Wild Soybeans from Heilongjiang Province, China

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2022
Phytophthora root rot (PRR) is a destructive disease of soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr) caused by Phytophthora sojae (P. sojae). The most effective way to prevent the disease is growing resistant or tolerant varieties. Partial resistance provides a more

Mycorrhizal symbiosis promotes the nutrient content accumulation and affects the root exudates in maize

BMC Plant Biology, 2022
Background Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are a group of important symbiotic microorganisms found in ecosystems. Maize is the second most produced food crop globally. To investigate the mechanisms by which mycorrhizal symbiosis improves maize yields,

Identification of key genes and modules in response to Cadmium stress in different rice varieties and stem nodes by weighted gene co-expression network analysis

Scientific Reports, 2020
Soil cadmium (Cd) pollution threatens food safety. This study aimed to identify genes related to Cd accumulation in rice. Low- (Shennong 315, short for S315) and high- (Shendao 47, short for S47) Cd-accumulative rice cultivars were incubated with CdCl2·2.

Morphological plasticity of root growth under mild water stress increases water use efficiency without reducing yield in maize [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2017
A large yield gap exists in rain-fed maize (Zea mays L.) production in semi-arid regions, mainly caused by frequent droughts halfway through the crop-growing period due to uneven distribution of rainfall.
