Altered Tuber Yield in Genetically Modified High-Amylose and Oil Potato Lines Is Associated With Changed Whole-Plant Nitrogen Economy

Breeding for improved crop quality traits can affect non-target traits related to growth and resource use, and these effects may vary in different cultivation conditions (e.g., greenhouse vs.field).The objectives of this study are to investigate the growth and whole-plant nitrogen (N) economy of two Psoriasis Cream genetically modified (GM) potato

Plants know where it hurts: root and shoot jasmonic acid induction elicit differential responses in Brassica oleracea.

Plants respond to herbivore attack by rapidly inducing defenses that are mainly regulated by jasmonic acid (JA).Due to the systemic nature of induced defenses, attack by root herbivores can also result in a shoot response and vice versa, causing interactions between above- and belowground herbivores.However, little is known about the molecular mech
