Abstract Plant height is an important agronomic trait that affects high-density tolerance and lodging resistance. However, the regulators their underlying molecular mechanisms controlling plant in maize remain understudied. Here, we report knockout mutants of calcium-dependent protein kinase gene ZmCPK39 ( -KO) exhibit dramatically reduced height, characterized by shorter internodes a slight decrease node numbers. Furthermore, identified ZmCPK39-interacting protein, knotted-related homeobox...
Gray leaf spot, northern blight and southern are three of the most destructive foliar diseases affecting maize (Zea mays L.). Here we identified a gene, ZmCPK39, that encodes calcium-dependent protein kinase negatively regulates quantitative resistance to these diseases. The ZmCPK39 allele in resistant line displayed significantly lower pathogen-induced gene expression than susceptible line. A marked decrease abundance mitigated phosphorylation degradation transcription factor ZmDi19. This...
Purpose The number of farms engaged in grain production China has been declining recent years. Limited efforts have devoted to examine why producers quit from and how such exits affect China's output. Such information, however, is invaluable understanding whether the exit should be encouraged if so, how. purpose this paper identify factors that influence farmers' decision production, with a view drawing implications for devising policies deal exits. Design/methodology/approach Both...
