This study investigated polyphyllin compositions of 206 Paris samples from 16 different producing areas. 9 Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis, 3 Paris fargesii and 3 Paris forrestii were sel...
Despite extensive research on Saccharomyces cerevisiae functional genomics, approximately 880 out of ~6,000 open reading frames (ORFs) remain uncharacterised. In this study we propose a method for characterising genes with limited prior functional knowledge using an automated laboratory platform,...
Grafting is widely applied in the cultivation of melon. In this study, 'Qinmi No.1' [Cucumis melo L. (QG)] and 'Ribenxuesong' [Cucurbita maxima Duch. (RG)] were used as rootstocks for 'QingxinYangjiaocui' (Cucumis melo L.). The results showed that grafting with...
Free asparagine content is a key factor in acrylamide formation in wheat derivatives after high temperature processing. Therefore, the control of free asparagine levels is of interest in crop and food sciences. Our study aims to explore the natural variation in durum wheat to identify candidate g...
Common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) is an important annual leguminous forage crop commonly used for green manure, fodder, and soil improvement. It is widely cultivated as a green manure and forage crop in Yunnan Province during winter and spring. However, the dry conditions and minimal rainfall d...
