Current wheat yield and consumption is considered in the context of the historical
development of wheat, from early domestication through to modern plant breeding, the …

Amino acids play several critical roles in plants, from providing the building blocks of
proteins to being essential metabolites interacting with many branches of metabolism. They …

Cold stress negatively affects maize (Zea mays L.) growth, development and yield. Metabolic
adjustments contribute to the adaptation of maize under cold stress. We show here that the …

Salt stress impairs nutrient metabolism in plant cells, leading to growth and yield penalties.
However, the mechanism by which plants alter their nutrient metabolism processes in …

Glutamine (Gln) is the first amino acid synthesized in nitrogen (N) assimilation in plants. Gln
synthetase (GS), converting glutamate (Glu) and NH4+ into Gln at the expense of ATP, is …

Leaf senescence, which is the last developmental phase of plant growth, is controlled by
multiple genetic and environmental factors. Leaf yellowing is a visual indicator of …

As a result of the rapid development of nanotechnology, metal-based nanoparticles (NPs)
are inadvertently released into the environment and may pose a potential threat to the …

Globally, climate change could hinder future food security that concurrently implies the
importance of investigating drought stress and genotype screening under stressed …

Free asparagine is the precursor for acrylamide, which forms during the baking, toasting and
high‐temperature processing of foods made from wheat. In this study, CRISPR/Cas9 was …

Acrylamide is a processing contaminant and Group 2a carcinogen that was discovered in
foodstuffs in 2002. Its presence in a range of popular foods has become one of the most …
