Comparative biochemical and transcriptomic analysis reveals the phosphate-starving tolerance of two ramie varieties.

Ramie (Boehmeria nivea L.) is a highly valued fiber crop. Its yield is often limited by lack of available phosphate (Pi) in the soil, but the underlying molecular mechanisms of ramie's response to Pi deficiency remain largely unknown.

Genome-Wide Association Mapping Unravels the Genetic Control of Seed Vigor under Low-Temperature Conditions in Rapeseed ( L.).

Low temperature inhibits rapid germination and successful seedling establishment of rapeseed ( L.), leading to significant productivity losses. Little is known about the genetic diversity for seed vigor under low-temperature conditions in rapeseed, which motivated our investigation of 13 seed germination- and emergence-related traits under normal and low-temperature conditions for 442 diverse rapeseed accessions.

Ideotype population exploration: growth, photosynthesis, and yield components at different planting densities in winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.).

Rapeseed is one of the most important edible oil crops in the world and the seed yield has lagged behind the increasing demand driven by population growth. Winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) is widely cultivated with relatively low yield in China, so it is necessary to find the strategies to improve the expression of yield potential.
