- Biology
Abstract Extreme low oxygen is typical of microenvironments inside developing grains, thus requiring metabolic adaptations to hypoxia. Potential contributions from sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) are tested here for maize (Zea mays) since the reversible reaction (fructose + NADH ↔ s...

Natural variation in GmSOP5 regulates seed oil and protein content during soybean domestication
ABSTRACT Seed oil content, protein content, and yield are agronomically important, correlated traits that determine the economic value of soybean ( Glycine max ). However, improving seed quality and yield simultaneously is challenging because gains in one breeding target often co...

ABSTRACT Chromatin organization regulates genome stability and gene expression by controlling DNA accessibility to transcription factors and regulatory complexes. DNA-protein interactions are commonly investigated using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), which relies on specif...

Unveiling centromeric retrotransposon dynamics through a high-quality rye genome assembly
Abstract Rye ( Secale cereale L.) is an important cereal crop known for its high yield potential and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, its large, repeat-rich, and heterozygous genome has posed challenges for assembly compared to related species such as wheat and...
