Analysis of canopy light utilization efficiency in high-yielding rapeseed varieties.

The photosynthetic mechanism responsible for the differences in yield between different rapeseed varieties remains unclear, and there have been no consensus and definite conclusions about the relationship between photosynthesis and yield. Representation of the whole plant by measuring the photosynthetic performance at a single site may lead to biased results. In this study, we comprehensively analyzed the main photosynthetic organs of four high-yielding rapeseed varieties at the seedling, bud, flowering, and podding stages.

Genome-Wide Identification and Analysis of the Plant Cysteine Oxidase (PCO) Gene Family in and Its Role in Abiotic Stress Response.

Plant Cysteine Oxidase (PCO) is a plant O-sensing enzyme catalyzing the oxidation of cysteine to Cys-sulfinic acid at the N-termini of target proteins. To better understand the gene family, genes in and related species were analyzed. In this study, 20, 7 and 8 genes were identified in , and , respectively.
