Pan-genome analysis of three main Chinese chestnut varieties

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima Blume) is one of the earliest domesticated plants of high nutritional and ecological value, yet mechanisms of C. mollissima underlying its growth and development are poorly understood.

Transcriptome analysis identifies genes related to the waxy coating on blueberry fruit in two northern-adapted rabbiteye breeding populations

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Blueberry is of high economic value. Most blueberry varieties selected for the fresh market have an appealing light blue coating or “bloom” on the fruit due to the presence of a visible heavy epicuticular wax layer. This waxy layer also serves

Mapping of the Waxy Gene in Brassica napus L. via Bulked Segregant Analysis (BSA) and Whole-Genome Resequencing

Agronomy, 2023
Plant cuticular wax is the covering of the outer layer of the plant. It forms a protective barrier on the epidermis of plants and plays a vital role like a safeguard from abiotic and biotic stresses. In the present study, Brassica napus L. materials with

SSR loci potentially associated with high amylopectine content in maize kernel endosperm

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2018
As a component of functional nutrition, maize cultivars with “non-traditional” kernel composition (waxy, oilbearing, sugar, opaque, etc. phenotypic variants) are promising.

Waxy allelic diversity in common millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) in China

Crop Journal, 2018
A set of 132 accessions of common millet, Panicum miliaceum L., from 12 provinces of China were assessed for endosperm starch type (waxy or non-waxy) using I2-KI staining, amylose and amylopectin contents using the dual-wavelength colorimetric method ...

Combining higher accumulation of amylopectin, lysine and tryptophan in maize hybrids through genomics-assisted stacking of waxy1 and opaque2 genes

Scientific Reports, 2022
Waxy maize rich in amylopectin has emerged as a preferred food. However, waxy maize is poor in lysine and tryptophan, deficiency of which cause severe health problems.

Assessment of the Characteristics of Waxy Rice Mutants Generated by CRISPR/Cas9

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The cooking and eating quality of rice grains is a major focus from a consumer’s perspective and is mainly determined by the apparent amylose content (AAC) of the starch. Waxy rice, a type of rice with an AAC of less than 2%, is an important goal for the

Genome editing by introduction of Cas9/sgRNA into plant cells using temperature-controlled atmospheric pressure plasma.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Previously, we developed a technique to introduce a superfolder green fluorescent protein (sGFP) fusion protein directly into plant cells using atmospheric-pressure plasma. In this study, we attempted genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9 (clustered regularly

Comparative analysis of eating quality and yield of selected non-waxy red-pericarp aromatic rice mutants

Journal of Applied Botany and Food Quality, 2015
Red-pericarp variety Kuanfu waxy aroma is highly valued for its grain quality in Taiwan, but it has undesirable traits of awned rough grain and taller plant height.

Identification and molecular characterization of mutant line deficiency in three waxy proteins of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Scientific Reports, 2021
Starch is the main component of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain and a key factor in determining wheat processing quality. The Wx gene is the gene responsible for amylose synthesis.
