Expression of fatty acid and triacylglycerol synthesis genes in interspecific hybrids of oil palm (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020, The Author(s). Evaluation of transcriptome data in combination with QTL information has been applied in many crops to study the expression of genes responsible for specific phenotypes. In oil palm, the mesocarp oil extracted from E. oleifera... Read More about Expression of fatty acid and triacylglycerol synthesis genes in interspecific hybrids of oil palm.

A mini foxtail millet with an Arabidopsis-like life cycle as a C4 model system (2020)
Journal Article

Over the past few decades, several plant species, including Arabidopsis thaliana, Brachypodium distachyon and rice (Oryza sativa), have been adopted as model plants for various aspects of research. These species, especially Arabidopsis, have had vita... Read More about A mini foxtail millet with an Arabidopsis-like life cycle as a C4 model system.
