Natural variation in a CENTRORADIALIS homolog contributed to cluster fruiting and early maturity in cotton.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plants use water 20-80% more efficiently by shifting stomata opening and primary CO2 uptake and fixation to the nighttime. Protein kinases (PKs) play pivotal roles in this biological process. However, few PKs have been functionally analyzed precisely due to their abundance ...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Herbivory imposes an important selective pressure on plants. In Arabidopsis thaliana leaf trichomes provide a key defense against insect herbivory; however, trichome production incurs a fitness cost in the absence of herbivory. Previous work on A. thaliana has shown an increase in trichome density in respons...
