About 8,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent, a spontaneous hybridization of the wild diploid
grass Aegilops tauschii (2n = 14; DD) with the cultivated tetraploid wheat Triticum turgidum …

The OsGW2 gene is involved in rice grain development, influencing grain width and weight.
Its ortholog in wheat, TaGW2, was considered as a candidate gene related to grain …

This paper offers in-depth analysis of the determinants and features of voluntary disclosure
based on information in the annual reports of 1066 Chinese firms listed on the Shanghai and …

Controlled pedigrees and the multi-decade timescale of national crop plant breeding programs
offer a unique experimental context for examining how selection affects plant genomes. …

Grain size is a dominant component of grain weight in cereals. Earlier studies have shown
that OsGS5 plays a major role in regulating both grain size and weight in rice via promotion of …

The role of abscisic acid (ABA) receptors, PYR1/PYL/RCAR (PYLs), is well established in ABA
signalling and plant drought response, but limited research has explored the regulation of …

Key message Wheat anther-specific invertase genes were haplotyped in wheat. Strong allelic
selection occurred during wheat polyploidization, domestication and breeding because of …

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major crop that feeds 40% of the world’s population.
Over the past several decades, advances in genomics have led to tremendous …

Two hundred and fifty bread wheat lines, mainly Chinese mini core accessions, were
assayed for polymorphism and linkage disequilibrium (LD) based on 512 whole-genome …

Sucrose synthase catalyzes the reaction sucrose + UDP → UDP-glucose + fructose, the first
step in the conversion of sucrose to starch in endosperm. Previous studies identified two …
