EastBio - Nutrient-dependent regulation of flowering time
Background. Energy provision through photosynthesis is required to ensure proper plant development which is essential for the coordinated production of vegetative and reproductive plantstructures such as fruits and tubers. Read more
China Scholarship Council: Molecular interplay in plant-aphid-virus interactions
Aphid-transmitted plant viruses pose a major threat to potato crop production. Among the non-persistent viruses, potyviruses, such as PVY and PVA, cause significant economic damage. Read more
