BACKGROUND: Amaranth (Amaranthus spp.) has high nutritional quality, with edible grain and leaves, and many agronomic advantages, making it a promising part of the solution for global food insecurity. However, we lack comprehensive metabolomic and genome sequence data fo...
Seed aging leads to reduced germination rates and vigor, particularly under stress conditions. We subjected aged maize seeds to 40 seconds of ultrasonic treatment, which enhanced their vigor and tolerance to combined stress. The ultrasonic treatment increased more cracks and holes in the seed coa...
The Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) is a retrograde, ER-to-nucleus, signalling pathway which is conserved across kingdoms. In plants, it contributes to development, reproduction, immunity and tolerance to abiotic stress. This lipidomic dataset was produced from Arabidopsis thaliana mature seeds. ...
Oil-tea Camellia is a promising woody oil crop that has been widely used as a cooking oil, lubricant, and cosmetics. However, there is a lack of dominant varieties suitable for high-altitude cold mountainous regions. Camellia weiningensis (C. weiningensis) is the only h...
Background: Faba bean seeds are nutrient-dense, serving as a vital plant-based protein source for food and vegetables. However, the metabolic accumulation and transcriptional regulatory networks during seed development remain poorly understood.
Results: Metabolomic analysis of two developme...
Horticulturists are interested in evaluating how cultivar, environment, or production system inputs can affect postharvest quality. Ambient mass spectrometry approaches enable analysis of minimally processed samples under ambient conditions and offer an attractive high-throughput alternative for ...
