Abstract:
... Flower size, a primary agronomic trait in breeding of ornamental plants, is largely determined by petal expansion. Generally, ethylene acts as an inhibitor of petal expansion, but its effect is restricted by unknown developmental cues. In this study, we found that the critical node of ethylene-inhibited petal expansion is between stages 1 and 2 of rose flower opening. To uncover the underlying reg ...

Cucumber is a popular greenhouse vegetable in Northwest China, and its production is principally limited by water and temperature. However, few studies have simulated water- and temperature-driven cucumber heights in solar greenhouses; in this paper, we explored these optimum grow ...
