BackgroundThe tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is crucial for cellular energy metabolism and carbon skeleton supply. However, the detailed functions of the maize TCA cycle genes remain unclear.ResultsIn this study, 91 TCA genes were identified in maize by a homology search, and they were distributed on 10 chromosomes and 1 contig. Phylogenetic result...

Contamination of soils with heavy metals, such as nickel (Ni), is a major environmental concern due to increasing pollution from industrial activities, burning of fossil fuels, incorrect disposal of sewage sludge, excessive manure application, and the use of fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture. Excess Ni induces leaf chlorosis and inhibits pl...

BackgroundAdventitious root (AR) formation is a critical developmental process in cutting propagation for the horticultural industry. While auxin has been shown to regulate this process, the exact mechanism and details preceding AR formation remain unclear. Even though AR and lateral root (LR) formation share common developmental processes, there a...

BackgroundPhosphorus (P) deficiency in soil is a worldwide issue and a major constraint on the production of sorghum, which is an important staple food, forage and energy crop. The depletion of P reserves and the increasing price of P fertilizer make fertilizer application impractical, especially in developing countries. Therefore, identifying sorg...

We have isolated several Osiaa23 rice mutants with different knockout genotypes, resulting in different phenotypes, which suggested that different genetic backgrounds or mutation types influence gene function. The Auxin/Indole-3-Acetic Acid (Aux/IAA) gene family performs critical roles in auxin signal transduction in plants. In rice, the gene OsIAA...

Selenium modulates the formation of primary and lateral roots through alterations in auxin and ethylene, leading to new patterns of root architecture in rice seedlings. Selenium (Se) at low concentrations can control root growth through interaction with hormone biosynthesis. Auxin and ethylene have been shown to control the root architecture, with ...

BackgroundPlant roots are complex, three-dimensional structures that play a central role in anchorage, water and nutrient acquisition, storage and interaction with rhizosphere microbes. Studying the development of the plant root system architecture is inherently difficult as soil is not a transparent medium.ResultsThis study uses electrical impedan...

The functional characterization of miRNAs often involves understanding of their spatiotemporal expression, which mostly relies on reporter-based or in situ hybridization studies. The available in situ localization methods follow separate protocols for pre-hybridization, hybridization, post-hybridization, and detection steps for both miRNA and mRNA ...

The PHOSPHATIDYLETHANOLAMINE-BINDING PROTEIN (PEBP) gene family is present in all eukaryotic kingdoms. In plants, three separate subfamilies have been identified, all of which have diversified functions. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the PEBP family members have been assigned roles as promoting or repressing flowering, controlling inflorescence meristem...
