Allelochemicals of Atractylodes lancea: Toxicity, plant response signaling, and natural fallow degradation

Allelochemicals, released by crop roots, frequently cause pathogen invasion and suffer losses due to their potential hazards to plant growth and soil microenvironment. Natural fallow received prominent attention in tackling agroecological problems and soil bioremediation. In this...

Characterization and Fine Mapping of ds, a Recessive Dense-Spike Mutant Associated with Shortened Spike Axis and Increased Spikelet Number in Wheat

Spike density is an important component of wheat spike architecture and is determined by the combined effects of spike-axis elongation and spikelet number. In this study, we characterized an ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)-induced recessive dense-spike mutant, ds, which was obtained...
