Starch commands a central role in the carbon budget of the majority of plants on earth, and
its biological role changes during development and in response to the environment …

Over the last two decades, significant advances have been made using genetic engineering
technology to modify genes from various exotic origins and introduce them into plants to …

Many plants store part of their photosynthate as starch during the day and remobilise it to
support metabolism and growth at night. Mutants unable to synthesize or degrade starch …

The phenomenon of RNA interference (RNAi) which involves sequence-specific gene
regulation by small non-coding RNAs, ie, small interfering RNA (siRNA) and microRNA …

The phenomenon of RNA interference (RNAi) is involved in sequence-specific gene
regulation driven by the introduction of dsRNA resulting in inhibition of translation or …

Eukaryotic cells compartmentalize neutral lipids into organelles called lipid droplets (LD s),
and while much is known about the role of LD s in storing triacylglycerols in seeds, their …

With the rapid population growth, there is an urgent need for innovative crop improvement
approaches to meet the increasing demand for food. Classical crop improvement …

Plants with facultative crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) maximize performance through
utilizing C3 or C4 photosynthesis under ideal conditions while temporally switching to CAM …

The source–sink relationship determines the overall agronomic performance of rice. Cloning
and characterizing key genes involved in the regulation of source and sink dynamics is …

This article highlights the advance of the radiation synthesis of starch-based hydrogel to be
used as a soil conditioner. The hydrogels samples have been prepared in weight ratios 1: 3 …
