Optimized Cas‐SF01 gene‐editing toolbox shortens flowering timing in commercial maize inbred JING724
The gene‐editing tool Cas‐SF01 was optimized to maximize its efficiency in maize. The Cas‐SF01‐TREX2 configuration was superior in enabling high‐purity gene mutations. This toolkit enabled commercial maize to flower seven days earlier without yield loss, thereby securing harvests and accelerating crop breeding.

Local Trade‐Offs Shape Flower Size Evolution Across Arabidopsis thaliana Distribution
ABSTRACT The remarkable variation in floral form and size is thought to have driven the evolutionary radiation of angiosperms and has traditionally been attributed to pollinator‐mediated selection on floral displays, yet emerging evidence indicates that abiotic environmental factors can also generate and filter variation in flower size.

The incredible vulnerability that reproduction poses for plant species in a warming world
Generalized plant responses to heat stress across whole‐plant and reproductive scales. Summary Temperatures are rising globally and threatening the persistence of natural plant populations. Elevated temperatures disrupt gametogenesis, fertilization, and seed filling, often at lower thresholds than those affecting photosynthesis, growth, or survival ...

Spatially Resolved ABA Signalling Reveals Dual Role in Tomato Yield
ABSTRACT Abscisic acid (ABA) is a central hormonal regulator of plant adaptation to stress and developmental progression. However, its contribution to agronomic traits such as yield remains unclear due to the pleiotropic nature of ABA signalling. To disentangle distinct physiological functions of ABA, we employed a receptor‐specific gain‐of‐function ...

SUMMARY Drought stress has a profound impact on yield, with massive repercussions for agricultural production. In addition to ABA, the central hormone controlling the plant response to drought, secondary metabolites also play important functions in drought stress; however, the precise nature of their roles is still obscure. Metabolomics analysis of ABA‐
