Integrative phenotypic-transcriptomic analysis of soybean plants subjected to multifactorial stress combination

This study investigates the effects of multifactorial stress combinations on soybean plants, revealing negative cumulative impacts and unique transcriptomic responses in different tissues.

The transcriptome of soybean reproductive tissues subjected to water deficit, heat stress, and a combination of water deficit and heat stress.

This study presents a transcriptomic dataset of soybean reproductive tissues under water deficit, heat stress, and their combination, revealing unique stress responses across tissues.

The effects of multifactorial stress combination on rice and maize

This study shows that multifactorial stress combinations negatively affect rice and maize growth, with proteomics revealing common stress-responsive proteins.

Differential transpiration between pods and leaves during stress combination in soybean

The paper shows that soybean pods and leaves exhibit differential transpiration under combined water deficit and heat stress, reducing internal pod temperature and protecting seed development.

Whole Plant Transpiration Responses of Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) to Drying Soil: Water Channels and Transcription Factors

This study identifies novel genes and regulatory elements associated with drought tolerance in common bean by analyzing transpiration responses and performing genome-wide association analyses.

Host genetic control of succession in the switchgrass leaf fungal microbiome

The paper examines how host genetics influence fungal microbiome succession in switchgrass leaves across time and environments, identifying immune-related genes linked to microbiome structure.

Heritability and host genomic determinants of switchgrass root-associated microbiota in field sites spanning its natural range.

This study examines how host genetics and environmental factors shape root microbiota in switchgrass across its native range, finding heritable variation and local microbial recruitment.

Physiological trait networks enhance understanding of crop growth and water use in contrasting environments

The paper uses a process-based model to identify contrasting trait networks in maize that enhance growth and water use in different environments.

Differential regulation of flower transpiration during abiotic stress in plants

The paper shows that under drought and heat stress, soybean plants open flower stomata to lower flower temperature, protecting reproduction at the expense of vegetative tissues.

A multiple ion-uptake phenotyping platform reveals shared mechanisms that affect nutrient uptake by maize roots

The paper introduces a high-throughput phenotyping platform to measure multiple ion uptake rates in maize roots, revealing shared genetic mechanisms and heritable variation in nutrient uptake.

The impact of multifactorial stress combination on plant growth and survival

This study investigates how multifactorial stress combinations affect plant growth and survival, finding that while individual stresses have minimal impact, their combination is detrimental.

The impact of water deficit and heat stress combination on the molecular response, physiology and seed production of soybean

This study examines how soybean genotypes respond to combined water deficit and heat stress, finding that heat tolerance does not ensure tolerance to the combined stress, with reduced seed production observed in one genotype under the stress combination.
