Overexpression of a maize SNF-related protein kinase gene, ZmSnRK2.11, reduces salt and drought tolerance in Arabidopsis
Published 2015-07-01Get full textSucrose non-fermenting-1 related protein kinase 2 (SnRK2) is a unique family of protein kinases associated with abiotic stress signal transduction in plants. In this study, a maize SnRK2 gene ZmSnRK2.11 was cloned and characterized. The results showed that ZmSnRK2.11 is up-regulated by high-salinity...

Functional Analysis of the ZAG2 Promoter from Maize in Transgenic Tobaccos
Published 2012-08-01Get full textAbstract: The function of the 3 040 bp sequence at the upstream translation starting site (ATG) of the ZAG2 gene, isolated from the maize genome, was studied. The sequence analysis showed that the sequence contained a typical class C MADS-box gene regulatory element. The 5′ UTR region of the gene co...

Selection for high quality pepper seeds by machine vision and classifiers
Published 2018-09-01Get full textThis research aimed to improve selection of pepper seeds for separating high-quality seeds from low-quality seeds. Past research has shown that seed vigor is significantly related to the seed color and size, thus several physical features were identified as candidate predictors of high seed quality....

Discrimination of individual seed viability by using the oxygen consumption technique and headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry
Published 2023-03-01Get full textIdentifying and selecting high-quality seeds is crucial for improving crop yield. The purpose of this study was to improve the selection of crop seeds based on separating vital seeds from dead seeds, by predicting the potential germination ability of each seed, and thus improving seed quality. The m...

Mechanisms behind zinc transport in a calcareous soil-wheat system and their impacts on human health
Published 2025-07-01Get full textABSTRACT: Zinc is recognized as a vital biological element for animals and plants. Both zinc deficiency and excess will cause damage to cells, and zinc deficiency in the human body may lead to severe health problems. Zinc deficiency has been identified as a global nutritional issue. Wheat, one of th...
