Starch is a vital energy source for living organisms and is a key raw material and additive in
the food and non-food industries. Starch has received continuous attention in multiple …

Gibberellins (GAs) are a class of tetracyclic diterpenoid phytohormones that regulate many
aspects of plant development, including seed germination, stem elongation, leaf expansion …

Preharvest sprouting (PHS) due to lack of seed dormancy seriously threatens crop
production worldwide. As a complex quantitative trait, breeding of crop cultivars with suitable …

Low-temperature germination (LTG) is an important agronomic trait for rice (Oryza sativa).
Japonica rice generally has greater capacity for germination at low temperatures than the …

Large-scale genomic variations are fundamental resources for crop genetics and breeding.
Here we sequenced 1,904 genomes of broomcorn millet to an average of 40× sequencing …

Salinity stress enhances reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation by activating the
transcription of NADPH oxidase genes such as RbohD, thus mediating plant developmental …

Appropriate regulation of crop seed germination is of significance for agriculture production.
In this study, we show that Ta JAZ 1, most closely related to Arabidopsis JAZ 3, negatively …

With the growth of the global population and the increasing frequency of natural disasters,
crop yields must be steadily increased to enhance human adaptability to risks. Pre-harvest …

Preharvest sprouting (PHS) is an unfavorable trait in cereal crops and causes serious yield
loss. However, the molecular mechanism underlying PHS remains largely elusive. Here, we …

Seed dormancy and germination, two physiological processes unique to seed-bearing
plants, are critical for plant growth and crop production. The phytohormone brassinosteroid …
