In vitro dynamic and quantitative monitoring of strigolactone‐signaling complex formation by time‐resolved FRET

The Plant Journal, Volume 124, Issue 5, December 2025.
We developed a new in vitro method using time‐resolved FRET to evaluate the dynamic activation of the strigolactone (SL) receptors. This system was used to gain deeper insights into the molecular mechanism of SL‐signaling complex formation and to detect naturally occurring SLs.

Impact of Production‐ and Consumption‐Oriented Interventions on Crop Varietal Adoption: Cluster‐Randomized Controlled Trial Evidence From Northern Nigeria

Agricultural Economics, Volume 56, Issue 6, Page 1009-1029, November 2025.
ABSTRACT This paper evaluates the impact of three interventions (seed trial packs, consumption‐oriented interventions, and agricultural training, either individually or bundled) in improving varietal turnover in northern Nigeria via a 3‐year cluster‐randomized controlled trial.

Genetic gains in grain yield of a maize population improved through marker assisted recurrent selection under stress and non-stress conditions in west Africa [PDF]

, 2017
Open Access JournakMarker-assisted recurrent selection (MARS) is a breeding method used to accumulate favorable alleles that for example confer tolerance to drought in inbred lines from several genomic regions within a single population.

Genetic Diversity and Inter-Trait Relationships among Maize Inbreds Containing Genes from Zea diploperennis and Hybrid Performance under Contrasting Environments

Agronomy, 2020
Accurate estimation of genetic variability present in tropical maize inbreds with varying reactions to Strigahermonthica infestation is essential for efficient and sustainable utilization to ensure increased genetic gain in a breeding program. Thirty-six

Horizontal Gene Transfer in Plants and Implications for Biotechnology

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), a fundamental process long acknowledged in prokaryotic evolution, is increasingly recognized as a pivotal force in shaping the evolutionary trajectories of eukaryotes, including plants. Despite its established significance in prokaryotic adaptation, the role of HGT in eukaryotic evolution is still understudied ...

Microbial drivers of root plasticity

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 1, Page 52-67, October 2025.
Summary Soils are highly heterogeneous and dynamic systems, experiencing a constant flow of plant root exudates and moisture fluctuations that affect nutrient distribution, soil physicochemical properties, and microbial metabolisms. Plant roots adjust their development within the soil matrix (growth, branching, root angle, and anatomical features) by ...

Evaluating Mechanisms of Soil Microbiome Suppression of Striga Infection in Sorghum

Bio-Protocol
The root parasitic weed Striga hermonthica has a devastating effect on sorghum and other cereal crops in Sub-Saharan Africa. Available Striga management strategies are rarely sufficient or not widely accessible or affordable.
