Abstract:
... MADS-box is the important transcription factor involved in the process of nutritional and reproductive growth of plants. To explore the information of MADS-box transcription factors in carrots (Daucus carota L.), we conducted a genome-wide identification and characteristic analysis of MADS-box in carrot. A total of 104 MADS-box factors were identified, and 48 Type Ⅰ MADS-box factors were classifie ...

Abstract:
... Goji berry (Lycium barbarum L.) is one of the most pivotal economic crops with an exceptional nutritional value. Based on its high global consumption, understanding the fruit growth patterns and nutrient accumulation at each developmental stage is crucial for the field and production management of high-quality goji berry cultivars. In this study, a fruit growth and development model of goji berry ...
... Cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) is cultivated by licensed producers in Canada for medicinal and recreational uses. The recent legalization of this plant in 2018 has resulted in rapid expansion of the industry, with greenhouse production representing the most common method of cultivation. Female cannabis plants produce inflorescences that contain bracts densely covered by glandular trichomes, which s ...
... Xanthoceras sorbifolium Bunge is an important woody oilseed tree in north China. However, its yield is severely restricted by a low ratio of female to male flowers, and little is known about the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying the sex differentiation of flowers. Therefore, carrying out the research in its sex differentiation regulation mechanism is the basis of increasing seed yi ...

Abstract:
... The effect of ripening stages on odor, tastes, nutritional ingredients (fatty acid compositions and protein), antioxidant activities, and total phenols content (TPC) of fresh-eating walnut were detected in this study. Fruits which were harvested at 121, 128 and 135 days after full bloom were tagged as stage I, stage II and stage III, respectively. The result indicated that the samples in stage Ⅰ s ...

Abstract:
... PREMISE: The inflorescences of Solanaceae are unique and complex, which has led to long‐standing disputes over floral symmetry mainly due to different interpretations of the cyme‐like inflorescence structure. The main disagreements have been over how the phyllomes associated with the flower were arranged relative to the inflorescence axis especially during early flower initiation. METHODS: Here we ...

Abstract:
... KEY MESSAGE: The flowering time of wild almond species studied herein is more influenced by heat requirement, which partly justifies also the differences in flowering date during the different years in genotypes. Bloom frost tolerance, chilling and heat requirements can influence distribution and productivity of almond species. Both laboratory and field-related methods were employed to determine t ...
flowering, etc ; flowers; functional diversity; leaves; morphogenesis; transcription (genetics); Show all 6 Subjects
Abstract:
... Plant development is regulated by transcription factors that often act in more than one process and stage of development. Yet the molecular mechanisms that govern the functional diversity and specificity of these proteins remains far from understood. Flower development provides an ideal context to study these mechanisms since the development of distinct floral organs depends on similar but distinc ...

Abstract:
... To explore whether cryptochrome contributes to stem elongation and flowering promoted by blue lights associated with low phytochrome activity, wild-type Arabidopsis was compared with its cryptochrome-deficient mutants and cryptochrome-overexpressing transgenic plants. Results indicated that the promotion effects were mainly related to low CRY1 activity, despite partial involvement of high-activity ...

flowering, etc ; flower morphology; flowers; meristems; ontogeny; peduncle; phenotype; Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... Mechanical forces acting within the plant body that can mold flower shape throughout development received little attention. The palette of action of these forces ranges from mechanical pressures on organ primordia at the microscopic level up to the twisting of a peduncle that promotes resupination of a flower at the macroscopic level. Here, we argue that without these forces acting during the onto ...

Abstract:
... Although the molecular regulation of global proliferative arrest (GPA) in arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) has been studied extensively, the precise role of the different contributors and their interconnections requires further research. A recent contribution by Merelo et al. now provides evidence that repression of cytokinin (CK) signaling affects the promotion of GPA. ...

Abstract:
... The results of assessing the primary dormancy, greatly important for adaptation, of seeds of A. thaliana plants from northern natural populations are presented. The temperature history of the maternal plant during the period of seed maturation was found to control the germination of seed progeny. The dependence of the transcriptional activity of the FT gene in plant pods on temperature history of ...

Abstract:
... Two mapping populations were developed from crosses of the Asian indica rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivar ‘Dee Geo Woo Gen’ (DGWG; PI 699210 Parent, PI 699212 Parent) and two weedy rice ecotypes, an early‐flowering straw hull (SH) biotype AR‐2000‐1135‐01 (PI 699209 Parent) collected in Arkansas and a late‐flowering black hull (BHA) biotype MS‐1996‐9 (PI 699211 Parent) collected in Mississippi. The w ...

Abstract:
... Flowers of Canna indica (Cannaceae) are arranged in 1- or 2-flowered cincinni along the inflorescence branches. Compared with the compound branches bearing 2-flowered cincinni, the more frequent 1-flowered type have simpler structures during anthesis. The lateral cincinnus meristem (CM) has been traditionally described as terminating at the second floral meristem (FM2), which may cease development ...

Abstract:
... The aim of the study was to examine the variation and breeding effects on the stay-green traits, and to identify the relationship between the different growing seasons and grain yield of the Pannonian winter wheat. The experiment was carried out with a historical set of 25 winter wheat cultivars during four growing seasons, in a typical Pannonian location at the experimental field of the Institute ...

Abstract:
... Pittosporopsis Craib, previously considered a member of the Icacinaceae sensu lato (s.l.), was transferred recently to the expanded Metteniusaceae, a family of 11 genera that needs morphological reevaluation to assess possible synapomorphies given its new circumscription. We investigated the anther and ovule developmental characters of Pittosporopsis and compared them with those of other members o ...

Abstract:
... QUESTIONS: Post‐fire flowering is an underestimated plant trait of many fire‐prone ecosystems and is rarely considered for tropical savannas. Therefore, we analyzed the effects of fire season and history on post‐fire flowering of grass species in a tropical savanna (Cerrado), by evaluating the number of species, frequency of individuals and number of reproductive tillers after wet‐ and dry‐season ...

Abstract:
... The regular arrangement of organs (phyllotaxis) in vegetative shoots and flowers is one of the most stunning features of plants. Spiral patterns characterized by Fibonacci numbers have attracted the particular interest of natural scientists and mathematicians. Numerous reviews have dealt with the molecular genetic mechanisms underlying phyllotaxis, and modeling studies have sought to recreate phyl ...

Abstract:
... Sorghum x sudangrass hybrid (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) has excellent biomass yield and requires low maintenance. It can be harvested multiple times during the growing season. It has great potential to be used for cellulosic biofuel production in the temperate regions, including the Korean peninsula. However, N requirements during the regrowth have not been evaluated yet. Three years of the stud ...
