Rooting for the little guy: Below‐ground traits predict juvenile grass demography in microsites
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant functional traits can be a powerful tool for predicting species demography in response to variable environmental conditions. However, accurate predictions of juvenile plant response require ontogenetically relevant traits that capture the response to microsite ...

Fusicoccin Counteracts the Toxic Effect of Cadmium on the Growth of Maize Coleoptile Segments
The effects of cadmium (Cd; 0.1–1000 μM) and fusicoccin (FC) on growth, Cd2+ content, and membrane potential (Em) in maize coleoptile segments were studied.

This review examines how hormonal homeostasis integrates environmental/developmental signals to guide carbohydrate flow in rice grain filling and endosperm development. Genetic/transcriptional networks, explored through superior/inferior spikelet models, will help reveal targets to optimize grain filling and guide breeding high‐yield crops.

This study presents a guanidinium‐containing disulfide nanoparticle (Gu+‐siRNA NPs) delivery system for efficient, species‐independent RNA interference in plants. Gu+‐siRNA NPs exhibit high biocompatibility, low toxicity, and effective gene silencing across plant tissues, enhancing crop productivity. Summary RNA interference (RNAi) has been widely used

Genetic, evolutionary and plant breeding insights from the domestication of maize. [PDF]
The natural history of maize began nine thousand years ago when Mexican farmers started to collect the seeds of the wild grass, teosinte. Invaluable as a food source, maize permeated Mexican culture and religion.
