Limitation of grain crop productivity by phosphorus (P) is widespread and will probably
increase in the future. Enhanced P efficiency can be achieved by improved uptake of …

Global climate change imposes increasing impacts on our environments and crop
production. To decipher environmental impacts on crop plants, the concept “enviroty**” is …

There is considerable interest in the occurrence and molecular mechanisms of phenotypic
plasticity and genotype-by-environment interactions (G× E) in plant populations. The …

Macronutrients play a very important role in plant growth and development. Their functions
range from being structural units to redox-sensitive agents. Generally, application of …

The continued supply of phosphate fertilizers that underpin global food production is an
imminent crisis. The rock phosphate deposits on which the world depends are not only finite …

Drought is a central abiotic stress for both natural plant populations and agricultural crops.
Substantial natural genetic variation in drought resistance traits has been identified in plant …

Methods Root architectural traits were characterized in seedlings of a double haploid (DH)
map** population (n= 190) of B. napus ['Tapidor'×'Ningyou 7'(TNDH)] using high …

One definition of food security is having sufficient, safe, and nutritious food to meet dietary
needs. This paper highlights the role of plant mineral nutrition in food production, delivering …

Expression of quantitative disease resistance in many host–pathogen systems is controlled
by genes at multiple loci, each contributing a small effect to the overall response. We used a …

A high-density SNP-based genetic linkage map was constructed and integrated with a
previous map in the Tapidor x Ningyou7 (TNDH) Brassica napus population, giving a new …
