Concerted changes in flower morphology and pollinators provide strong evidence on adaptive evolution. Schizanthus (Solanaccae) has zygomorphic flowers and consists of 12 species of annual or biennial herbs that are distributed ...

In this study, some morphological, physicochemical, and the initial characterization of the starch granule enzymes of blue and white maizes of small and large granules are described. Starch was isolated from blue and white ...

The morphological examination of starch grains and the quantitative analysis of starch grain size unequivocally demonstrate that antisense tubers contain starch grains with much smaller diameter and more grains per cell. ...

Increasing plant density seems to improve the productivity of maize crops, and the understanding of how the metabolism of non-structural carbohydrates is affected in plants under high crop density is critical. Thus, with ...

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and CRISPR-associated protein-9 (CRISPR-Cas9) can be used as an efficient tool for genome editing in potato (Solanum tuberosum). From both a scientific and a ...

Las raíces almacenadoras de yuca representan una fuente importante de almidón. La ruta metabólica del almidón ha sido reconstruida recientemente en yuca gracias a la liberación de la secuencia completa de su genoma. En ...

The growth of maize (Zea mays L.) kernels depends on the availability of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) assimilates supplied by the mother plant and the capacity of the kernel to use them. Our objectives were to study the ...
