QTL mapping and candidate gene analysis of peduncle vascular bundle related traits in rice by genome-wide association study [PDF]
Rice, 2018 Background The vascular bundle especially in the peduncle is one of crucial limiting factors of rice yield, and it determines how plants efficiently transport photosynthetic products, mineral nutrients and water from leaf and root to panicle.

Nitrogen Supply Regulates Vascular Bundle Structure and Matter Transport Characteristics of Spring Maize Under High Plant Density [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Nitrogen (N) fertilizer application greatly enhances grain yield by improving dry matter accumulation and grain filling in spring maize. However, how N application rates regulate the vascular bundle structure, matter transport and grain filling of spring

Biomolecular Strategies for Vascular Bundle Development to Improve Crop Yield. [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2022 The need to produce crops with higher yields is critical due to a growing global population, depletion of agricultural land, and severe climate change. Compared with the “source” and “sink” transport systems that have been studied a lot, the development and utilization of vascular bundles (conducting vessels in plants) are increasingly important.
