Many species of Triticeae display a glaucous phenotype. In wheat, glaucousness/waxiness on spikes, leaves and shoots is controlled by wax production genes(W loc
Chalkiness is one of the key factors determining rice quality and price. Ascorbic acid(Asc) is a major plant antioxidant that performs many functions in plants.
Rice culm carbohydrate transport can simultaneously affect grain filling and stem lodging resistance by regulating non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) and structu
Production of mutants with altered phenotypes is a powerful approach for determining the biological functions of genes in an organism. In this study, a high-gra
The colonization of maize(Zea mays L.) and peanut(Arachis hypogaea L.) by the fungal pathogen Aspergillus flavus results in the contamination of kernels with ca
