The Effect of Drought and Sowing Date on Dry Matter Accumulation and Partitioning in the Above-Ground Organs of Maize by Fu Cai, Yushu Zhang, Na Mi, Huiqing Ming, Shujie Zhang, Hui Zhang, Xianli Zhao, Bingbing Zhang

“…From the view of DMP, a mild drought lowers the stalk DMP rate but increases the rate in ears. The more severe the drought, the smaller the DMP rate in ears and the stronger the inhibition of the transfer of dry matter from stalk to ears, as well as the more significant difference in the DMP pattern among the sowing dates. …”

Responses of dry matter accumulation and partitioning to drought and subsequent rewatering at different growth stages of maize in Northeast China by Fu Cai, Fu Cai, Na Mi, Na Mi, Huiqing Ming, Yushu Zhang, Yushu Zhang, Hui Zhang, Shujie Zhang, Shujie Zhang, Xianli Zhao, Bingbing Zhang

“…Drought during VP (VPWC) reduced more sharply DMW of stalk than of leaves, and that during RP (RPWC) decreased more substantially leaves DMW. …”

Isolation and Functional Characterization of a Constitutive Promoter in Upland Cotton (<i>Gossypium hirsutum</i> L.) by Yang Yang, Xiaorong Li, Chenyu Li, Hui Zhang, Zumuremu Tuerxun, Fengjiao Hui, Juan Li, Zhigang Liu, Guo Chen, Darun Cai, Xunji Chen, Bo Li

“…In the transgenic lines, high GUS activity was detected in different tissues such as leaves, stalks, buds, petals, androecium, endosperm, and fibers, where the pGhFDH-driven GUS expression levels were 3–10-fold higher compared to those under the CaMV 35S promoter at 10–30 days post-anthesis (DPA) during fiber development. …”

Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses provide insights into host adaptation of a bamboo-feeding aphid by Hui Zhang, Hui Zhang, Ruixun Lin, Qian Liu, Jianjun Lu, Gexia Qiao, Xiaolei Huang, Xiaolei Huang

“…Pseudoregma bambucicola is a severe bamboo pest in subtropical areas and the only aphid species that can exclusively feed on hard stalks of bamboos. How this species can penetrate and degrade hard bamboo cell walls and utilize a very specialized niche are important unanswered questions.MethodsIn this study, comprehensive analyses based on transcriptome sequencing, RT-qPCR, liquid chromatography-tandem spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) and bioinformatics were conducted on dissected salivary glands and secreted saliva of P. bambucicola to characterize the overall gene expression and salivary protein composition, and to identify putative effector proteins important for aphid-plant interactions. …”
