Combined transcriptome and metabolome analysis reveals the effects of light quality on maize hybrids

BMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background Heterosis, or hybrid vigor, refers to the phenotypic superiority of an F1 hybrid relative to its parents in terms of growth rate, biomass production, grain yield, and stress tolerance.

Protein deamidase from germinating wheat grains [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1992
A new enzyme catalyzing the deamidation of seed storage proteins was found in germinating wheat grains and was partially purified. It also acts on egg lysozyme, horse hemoglobin and reduced RNAse, glutamine and Gly‐l‐Gin‐l‐Tyr. No activity was observed when using ovalbumin, serum albumin, RNAse, insulin, asparagine and an asparagine‐containing peptide.

Comparative transcriptomics analysis at the key stage of maize ear development dissect heterosis

The Plant Genome, 2023
Important traits related to maize (Zea mays L.) grain yield, such as kernel row number, ear length, kernel number per row, are determined during the development of female inflorescence.

Genome-Wide Association Study on Root Traits Under Different Growing Environments in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Plant roots are critical for water and nutrient acquisition, environmental adaptation, and yield formation. Herein, 196 wheat accessions from the Huang-Huai Wheat Region of China were collected to investigate six root traits at seedling stage under three

Agronomical techniques to improve technological and sanitary quality [PDF]

, 2012
In spite of variable grain protein contents, baking quality of organic wheat was found to be acceptable to good. Mycotoxin (DON) infestation was generally low on tested grain samples.

Differences in Yield Parameters of Emmer in Comparison with Old and New Varieties of Bread Wheat [PDF]

, 2012
Emmer wheat (Triticum diccocum Schrank) belonged to the most frequent species of cereals in the past. Nowadays, it is grown in arid and montane areas in particular.

Chromatin Topology Reconfiguration Orchestrates Thermotolerant Male Fertility via GhAL5 in Cotton

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates cotton’s high‐temperature (HT) response using multi‑omics. Dynamic 3D genome changes drive expression bias affecting male fertility. The tolerant line shows controlled chromatin dynamics, while the sensitive line exhibits overactivation.

Canopy Vegetation Indices from In situ Hyperspectral Data to Assess Plant Water Status of Winter Wheat under Powdery Mildew Stress

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Plant disease and pests influence the physiological state and restricts the healthy growth of crops. Physiological measurements are considered the most accurate way of assessing plant health status.

Grain zinc, iron and protein concentrations and zinc-efficiency in wild emmer wheat under contrasting irrigation regimes [PDF]

, 2008
Micronutrient malnutrition, and particularly deficiency in zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe), afflicts over three billion people worldwide, and nearly half of the world’s cereal-growing area is affected by soil Zn deficiency.

Modulating Purothionin Accumulation and Signal Peptide Cleavage Fine‐Tunes Wheat Flour Gluten Properties to Improve Cookie‐Making Quality

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dual genetic strategies for improving wheat processing quality by regulating purothionin accumulation to modulate gluten quantity and quality. The first strategy involves targeting signal peptide (SP) cleavage sites (e.g., through mutation) to indirectly reduce gluten content, thereby disrupting gluten network formation.
