Transcriptome-Based miR156-Mediated Expression Dynamics of SPL Transcription Factors During Vegetative to Reproductive Transition in Spinach Open
Vegetative to reproductive phase transition is an important developmental process in flowering plants, regulated in part by microRNAs that repress target genes post-transcriptionally. However, the role of miR156 and its target Squamosa Pro…

Genetic Mapping and Transcriptomic Analysis of Sepal-Derived Seed Shape in Spinach Open
Spinach is a beloved vegetable crop and widely cultivated worldwide. It is dioecious with male and female plants, although monoecious mutations exist. Female spinach exhibits two distinct sepal morphologies—thorn-shaped and round-shaped de…

Gibberellin Disrupts Hormonal Homeostasis and Anther Integrity to Trigger Sex Reversal in Spinach Open
Spinach is a dioecious vegetable and an excellent model for investigating plant sex differentiation. Exogenous gibberellin treatment induced sepal hypoplasia and sex reversal, converting 42% of stamens into pistils in male plants. Transcri…

Maintaining Seed Quality of Maize and Wheat through Dry Chain Technology in Pakistan Open
Seed is inevitably deteriorated during storage and higher seed moisture content is the primary cause of this decline in seed quality. Dry Chain is a valuable tool, by using moisture proof hermetic containers to preserve seed quality throug…

Gene Regulatory Network Controlling Flower Development in Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) Open
Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) is a dioecious, diploid, wind-pollinated crop cultivated worldwide. Sex determination plays an important role in spinach breeding. Hence, this study aimed to understand the differences in sexual differentiati…

Hermetic storage of okra seed maintains seed longevity under changing environment Open
Okra seed is vulnerable to loss of germination and vigor in variable storage conditions. High seed moisture contents (SMC) accelerate seed deterioration during storage thus keeping low seed moisture contents by storing seed in hermetic bag…

Rice seed longevity in the context of seed moisture contents and hypoxic conditions in the storage environment Open
Cumulative oxidation of cellular macromolecules during storage reduces seed longevity. This study was undertaken to unravel the physiological and biochemical changes in rice seeds that contribute to deterioration during storage. Rice seeds…

RICE SEEDLING ESTABLISHMENT AS INFLUENCED BY CULTIVARS AND SEED PRIMING WITH POTASSIUM NITRATE Open
Poor crop establishment is one of the major constraints to obtain the higher potential of rice, particularly in areas prone to environmental stresses. Therefore, present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of potassium nitrate on g…
