Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroid hormones that function in plant growth and development and response to environmental stresses and nutrient supplies. However, few studies have investigated the effect of BRs in modulating the physiological response to nitrogen (N) supply in maize. In the present study, BR signaling-deficient mutant zmbri1-RNAi lines and exogenous application of 2,4-epibrassinolide (eBL) were used to study the role of BRs in the regulation of physiological response in maize seedlings supplied with N. Exogenous application of eBL increased primary root length and plant biomass, but zmbri1 plants showed shorter primary roots and less plant biomass than wild-type plants under low N (LN) and normal N (NN) conditions. LN induced the expression of the BR signaling-associated genes ZmDWF4, ZmCPD, ZmDET2, and ZmBZR1 and the production of longer primary roots than NN. Knockdown of ZmBRI1 weakened the bio-logical effects of LN-induced primary root elongation. eBL treatment increased N accumulation in shoots and roots of maize seedlings exposed to LN or NN treatment. Correspondingly, zmbri1 plants showed lower N accumulation in shoots and roots than wild-type plants. Along with reduced N accumulation, zmbri1 plants showed lower NO3? fluxes and 15NO3? uptake. The expression of nitrate transporter (NRT) genes (ZmNPF6.4, ZmNPF6.6, ZmNRT2.1, ZmNRT2.2) was lower in zmbri1 than in wild-type roots, but eBL treat-ments up-regulated the transcript expression of NRT genes. Thus, BRs modulated N physiological response and regulated the transcript expression of NRT genes to promote N uptake in maize.

Heterosis, the phenomenon in which hybrids outperform their parents, has been utilized in maize (Zea mays L.) for over 100 years. To provide a more complete understanding of heterosis, we collected a com-prehensive transcriptome and translatome dataset on
Cotton architecture is partly determined by shoot branching and flowering patterns. GhBRC1 was previ-ously identified by RNA-seq analysis of nulliplex-branching and normal-branching cotton. However, the roles of GhBRC1 in cotton remain unclear. In the pre

Rice is one of the most important food crops in the world. Weeds seriously affect the rice yield and grain quality. In recent years, there are tremendous progresses in the research and application of herbicide-resistant genes in rice worldwide. This artic

农田覆盖作为一种重要的农艺生产措施,已被广泛应用于各种农业生产活动中.为了定量分析覆盖条件下农田温室气体的排放效应、改善农田覆盖模式和减少农业温室气体排放,采用Meta分析方法分析了覆盖对水稻田温室气体排放的影响,并对其主要影响因素进行解析.结果表明,与不覆盖相比,覆盖水稻田CO2排放量平均增加21.9％(置信区间2.6％～44.8％),N2 O排放量平均减少43.9％(置信区间32.3％～53.5％),CH4排放量平均减少58.5％(置信区间50.8％～65.0％).N2 O排放量随施氮量的增加呈降低趋

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) act as regulators of plant development and multiple stress responses. Here we demonstrate that the rice miR171b-SCL6-IIs module regulates the balance between blast resistance, grain yield, and flowering. miR171b-overexpressing rice plan
Elevated levels of atmospheric CO2 (eCO2) promote rice growth and increase methane (CH4) emissions from rice paddies, because increased input of plant photosynthate to soil stimulates methanogenic archae. However, temporal trends in the effects of eCO2 on
