Anthocyanin is an important class of water-soluble pigments that are widely distributed in various tissues of plants, and it not only facilitates diverse color changes but also plays important roles in various biological processes. Maize silk, serving as an important reproductive organ and displaying ...
In maize, young kernels that are less competitive and have poor sink activity often abort. Studies have indicated that such poor competitiveness depends, in part, on the regulation by auxin (IAA) and abscisic acid (ABA). However, the mechanisms for such effects remain unclear. We used ...
The rate and duration of grain filling, spanning from anthesis to maturity, are critical determinants of wheat grain growth. This review focuses on elucidating the role of these three phytohormones, i.e., auxin, cytokinin, and abscisic acid, in the grain-filling process. It provides a concise ...
A Structures of the BBX proteins with the composition of the domains in Arabidopsis thaliana, rice (Oryza sativa), maize (Zea mays), tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), rose (Rosa chinesis) and apple (Malus domestica Borkh). B Molecular phylogenetic analysis of BBX proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana,...
The study of Tryptophan-Dependent Indole-3-Acetic Acid Biosynthesis pathways in Maize Endosperm Jing Chen 2017 Auxin biosynthesis and its role in plant development. Yunde Zhao 2010 Biochemical and Chemical Biology Study of Rice OsTAR1 Revealed that ...
However, there are many AQPs encoded in a plant’s genome and it is not yet clear how, when, or which AQPs are involved in critical stages of seed biology. Here we review the literature to examine the evidence for AQP involvement in seeds and analyse Arabidopsis seed-related transcriptomic...
A fruit is the product of determinate growth from an angiospermous flower or inflorescence, consisting of the seed and its envelope1. Fruits can be classified into dry fruit and fleshy fruit. For dry fruits, such as maize, rice and nuts, the seed is usually the important product. For ...
The GRAS gene family plays crucial roles in multiple biological processes of plant growth, including seed development, which is related to seedless traits of litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.). However, it hasn’t been fully identified and analyzed in litch
The cytochrome P450 (CYP) superfamily is the largest enzyme metabolism family in plants identified to date, and it is involved in many biological processes, including secondary metabolite biosynthesis, hormone metabolism and stress resistance. However, t
Aquaporins (AQPs) facilitate water diffusion across biological membranes and are involved in all phases of growth and development. Small and basic intrinsic proteins (SIPs) belong to the fourth subfamily of the plant AQPs. Although SIPs are widely presen
