Foxtail millet (Setaria italica), a member of the Poaceae grass family, is C4 plant that grown in arid and semi-arid regions as food fodder crop dozens countries including India China. It was domesticated from wild species green foxtail (S. viridis) over 8000 years ago closely related to several major food, feed bioenergy grasses maize, sorghum, sugarcane switchgrass. small size its diploid genome has been sequenced annotated recently (Bennetzen et al., 2012; Jia 2013), thus increasingly...

Tiller angle shapes plant architecture, and is one of the top traits in breeding. A compact type reduces shading between plants, especially at high planting density, but also creates a humid microenvironment often associated with higher incidence pathogen pest attacks, under highly climates. However, how to precisely manipulate tiller achieve desirable has been under-approached. Here we report creation gradient angles indica rice by fine tuning expression TILLER ANGLE CONTROL1 (TAC1),...

Abstract Direct ammonia solid oxide fuel cells (DA‐SOFCs) offer a promising pathway for the efficient utilization of carbon‐free fuel. However, nitridation nickel‐based cermet anodes in causes rapid microstructural coarsening, leading to durability problems. Herein, an efficient, ammonia‐tolerant Fe‐modified Ni‐Gd 0.1 Ce 0.9 O 1.95 (NiFe‐GDC) nanocomposite anode is developed by coupling self‐assembly synthesis process with sintering‐free electrode fabrication technique. The as‐synthesized...

Maize rough dwarf disease (MRDD) is caused by viruses in the Fijivirus genus family Reoviridae. MRDD resistance can be improved a combination of marker-assisted selection (MAS) and conventional breeding strategies. In our previous study, we fine-mapped major QTL qMrdd8 developed functional Indel marker IDP25K. present from donor parent X178 was introgressed into elite inbred lines derived three corn heterotic groups using multi-generation backcrossing MAS. Recipient included Huangzao4,...

The ancient crop broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) is an indispensable orphan in semi-arid regions due to its short life cycle and excellent abiotic stress tolerance. These advantages make it important alternative increase food security achieve the goal of zero hunger, particularly light uncertainty global climate change. However, functional genomic biotechnological research has been hampered a lack genetic tools such as transformation genome-editing techniques. Here, we successfully...

Starch biosynthesis in endosperm is a key process influencing grain yield and quality maize. Although number of starch biosynthetic genes have been well characterized, the mechanisms by which expression these regulated, especially regard to microRNAs (miRNAs), remain largely unclear.Sequence data for small RNAs, degradome, transcriptome maize at 15 25 d after pollination (DAP) from inbred lines Mo17 Ji419, exhibit distinct content granule structure, revealed mediation pathways miRNAs....

The gray leaf spots caused by Cercospora spp. severely affect the yield and quality of maize. However, evolutionary relation pathogenicity variation between species genus is largely unknown. In this study, we constructed high-quality reference genomes nanopore sequencing two species, namely, C. zeae-maydis zeina, with differing pathogenicity, collected from northeast (Liaoning [LN]) southeast (Yunnan [YN]) China, respectively. genome size zeae-maydis-LN 45.08 Mb, containing 10,839 annotated...
