Hormone patterns tailor cell fate decisions during plant organ formation. Among them, auxins and cytokinins are critical phytohormones early development. Nitric oxide (NO) modulates root architecture by the control of auxin spatial patterns. However, NO involvement coordination shoot organogenesis remains unclear. Here, we explore effect development using a phenotypic, cellular, genetic analysi...

The shape of the leaf is primary phenotype which determines commercial value mustard (Brassica juncea). However, there arefew reports on lobed-leaf gene B. juncea, and molecular regulatory mechanisms underlying margin formation are unknown. In this study, an F2 population derived from ‘MN001’ ‘MU056’ was constructed. Genetic analysis revealed that trait controlled by a major gene, lobed leavesa...

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy can be conveniently delivered with a multileaf collimator. With this method, the entire field is not delivered at once, but rather it is composed of many subfields defined by the leaf positions as a function of beam on time. At any given instant, only these subfields are delivered. During treatment, if the organ moves, part of the volume may move in or out ...

Abstract This study sought to understand the genetic basis of piping leaf margin phenotype in pineapple. To achieve this aim, a genome-wide association (GWAS) using mixed linear regression and logistic analysis was conducted on three pineapple diversity panels including seedling populations segregating for spiny, spiny-tip margins. identified single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers associa...

abstract     evapotranspiration and plant water absorption reduce when exposed to water stress and this reduction results in an increase in leaf temperature. to determine the effect of water stress on leaf temperature and timing of irrigation using leaf temperature, a research was conducted on the research and education greenhouse production center of islamic azad university, isfahan branch (kh...

The maize ligule is an adaxial membranous structure on the leaf that develops at the boundary of the sheath and blade. The ligule and the associated auricle are dispensable structures, amenable to genetic manipulation. We present here a genetic analysis of ligulelessl ( lg l ) and liguleless2 (lg2), the two genes known to be uniquely necessary for ligule and auricle development. We show that bo...

Tree leaves are important food sources for arboreal herbivores, such as primates, rodents, and marsupials. These animals do not eat leaves randomly in habitats with many tree species but rather choose based on the chemical components of leaves, such as sugars, fibers, proteins, and toxins. However, the effects of the microscale distribution of these chemicals within each leaf have not been exam...
