CDE4 Encodes a Pentatricopeptide Repeat Protein Involved in ...

The chloroplast is an organelle that conducts photosynthesis to provide the necessary energy and materials for plant growth and development. As a semi-autonomous organelle containing limited genetic information, the formation and function of chloroplasts requires the synergic action of the plastid and nuclear genomes.

Scientists from ICS Reveal the Higher Yield with Lower N2O E...

The Innovation Team of Farming System and Agro-Ecology, Institute of Crop Sciences, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (ICS-CAAS), demonstrated the characteristics and biological mechanisms of high-yielding winter wheat varieties with less nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions based on the field experiments.

Scientists from ICS Discover the Control Mechanism on Plant ...

Cytokinins are classical, historic plant hormones regulating diverse aspects of plant growth and development, including the important agronomic traits such as grain number in rice. The canonical signal transduction process of cytokinins is well-known as phosphorelay process, which means the transfer of the phosphoryl group among different proteins including HKs, HPs and RRs.

ICS Scientists Reveal New Mechanisms to Increase Wheat Yield...

The Crop Bioinformatics and Application Innovation Team led by Professor Mao Long at the Institute of Crop Sciences of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (ICS-CAAS) revealed the functions of wheat AGL6 gene in floral organs identity and spikelet meristem development. The research was published on the international journal Plant Biotechnology Journal.
