This research area aims to achieve a comprehensive understanding of plants, focusing on plant molecules (plant-derived compounds and related genes), and to develop innovative technologies utilizing ...

Plant functional traits are measurable morphological and physiological attributes that significantly affect whole-plant performance and thus, presumably, the main components of fitness: survival, ...

We have generated transgenic potato plants (Solanum tuberosum) containing the potato phytochrome protein encoded by the PHYA gene cDNA (phyA) in sense or antisense orientation under the control of the ...

Introduction: Plant functional groups (PFGs) and plant density are two important characteristics of plant community dynamics; however, the main and interactive effects of PFGs and plant density on ...
