Functional characterization of petiolule-like pulvinus (PLP) gene in abscission zone development in Medicago truncatula and its application on alfalfa improvement
Du, Juan (2019-12)Organ abscission plays an important role in plant development. To date, little is known about genes involved in leaf abscission zone differentiation. Leaf loss during the haymaking process in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) ... -
Genetic basis and molecular mechanism of wheat development
Yu, Ming (2014-12)Wheat is one of the most important crops in the world. Wheat can be classified according to its qualitative requirement for low temperature to accelerate flowering (i.e. vernalization). Winter wheat has a vernalization ... -
Genetic basis of nitrogen use efficiency and its application in wheat breeding
Lei, Lei (2018-07)Nitrogen is the major limiting factor in crop production worldwide, and N is now the single largest input cost for many crops including wheat. Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is a complex trait, and as many as 25 genes have ... -
