First Record of on Foxtail Millet ( (L.) P. Beauv.) in Jilin Province of China.

Aphelenchoides oryzae Yokoo caused a large reduction in rice yields in Japan (1948). It was later synonymised with A. besseyi by Allen (1952), but Subbotin et al.

Stem Rust Resistance and Resistance-Associated Genes in 64 Wheat Cultivars from Southern Huanghuai, China.

Wheat stem rust, caused by f. sp. (), is a devastating fungal disease that affects wheat globally.

Urea Coated with Polyaspartic Acid-Chitosan Increases Foxtail Millet ( L. Beauv.) Grain Yield by Improving Nitrogen Metabolism.

Innovative measures of nitrogen (N) fertilization to increase season-long N availability is essential for gaining the optimal foxtail millet ( L. Beauv.) productivity and N use efficiency.

The Transcription Factor Gene Is Involved in Salt Tolerance in Maize ( L.).

The NAC gene family has transcription factors specific to plants, which are involved in development and stress response and adaptation. In this study, , an NAC gene in maize that plays a role in saline-alkaline tolerance, was isolated and characterized. ZmNAC89 was localized in the nucleus and had transcriptional activation activity during in vitro experiments.

Advances in CRISPR/Cas9-based research related to soybean [ (Linn.) Merr] molecular breeding.

Soybean [ (Linn.) Merr] is a source of plant-based proteins and an essential oilseed crop and industrial raw material. The increase in the demand for soybeans due to societal changes has coincided with the increase in the breeding of soybean varieties with enhanced traits.

Metabolomics analysis reveals the accumulation patterns of flavonoids and phenolic acids in quinoa ( Willd.) grains of different colors.

Quinoa grains are gaining increasing popularity owing to their high nutritional merits. However, only limited information is available on the metabolic profiles of quinoa grains. In this study, we determined the metabolic profiles of black, red, and white quinoa grains via an ultraperformance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS)-based metabolomics.

Fine Mapping and Characterization of an Aphid-Resistance Gene in the Soybean Landrace Fangzheng Moshidou.

The soybean aphid poses a severe threat to soybean quality and yield by sucking phloem sap and transmitting plant viruses. An early-maturing and highly resistant soybean landrace, Fangzheng Moshidou, with markedly reduced aphid colonization has been identified by screening of aphid-resistant soybean accessions. In a population derived from the cross of Fangzheng Moshidou with the susceptible cultivar Beifeng 9, resistance was conferred by a single dominant gene.

Improves Salt and Drought Tolerance in Transgenic Soybean Plants.

NF-YA transcription factors function in modulating tolerance to abiotic stresses that are serious threats to crop yields. In this study, , an NF-YA gene in soybean, was strongly induced by salt, drought, ABA, and HO, and suppressed by tungstate, an ABA synthesis inhibitor. The transcripts were detected in different tissues in seedling and flowering stages, and the expression levels in roots were highest.
