Transcriptomic landscape of staminate catkins development during overwintering process in Betula platyphylla Open
Betula platyphylla , belonging to the cold-specialized lineage Betulaceae, exhibits a unique reproductive strategy where staminate catkins emerge in the first summer and undergo an overwintering process, culminating in flowering in the fol…

The lipoxygenase gene AfLOX4 of Amorpha fruticosa L. is a potential regulator of drought stress tolerance pathways under saline and alkaline conditions Open
Lipoxygenase (LOX, EC1.13.11.12) catalyzes the oxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids and further generates oxylipins via enzymatic or non-enzymatic pathways, thus participating in the regulation of growth and development, stress respo…

Fatty Acid Biosynthesis Pathways Are Downregulated during Stigma Development and Are Critical during Self-Incompatible Responses in Ornamental Kale Open
In Brassicaceae, the papillary cells of the stigma are the primary site of the self-incompatibility (SI) responses. SI preserves the genetic diversity by selectively rejecting irrelevant or incompatible pollen, thus promoting cross fertili…
