Flowering time and stem growth habit determine inflorescence architecture in soybean, which in turn influences seed yield. Dt1, a homolog of Arabidopsis TERMINA
RNA-directed DNA methylation(Rd DM) is a plant-specific de novo DNA methylation pathway,which has extensive cross-talk with histone modifications. Here, we report that the maize RdDM regulator SAWADEE HOMEODOMAIN HOMOLOG 2(SHH2) is an H3 K9 me1 reader. Ou
There is growing interest in expanding the pro-duction of soybean oils (mainly triacylglycerol, or TAG) to meet rising feed demand and address global energy con
Phosphorus is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and development. Root system architecture(RSA) affects a plants ability to obtain phosphate, the major form of phosphorus that plants uptake.
Root-associated microbes are critical for plant growth and nutrient acquisition. However, scant information exists on optimizing communities of beneficial root-
The application of heterosis is a promising approach for greatly increasing yield in soybean(Glycine max L.). Nuclear male sterility is essential for hybrid seed production and the utilization of heterosis. Here we report the cloning of the gene underlyin
