Dynamic phytomeric growth contributes to local adaptation in barley

This study shows that domestication in barley extends the apical meristematic phase for node initiation but restricts internode elongation, with genetic factors influencing these processes along latitudinal and longitudinal gradients.

Balancing grain yield trade-offs in 'Miracle-Wheat'

This study identifies a QTL that improves grain yield in spike-branching wheat by delaying senescence and increasing grains per spikelet.

Genetic screening for mutants with altered seminal root numbers in hexaploid wheat using a high-throughput root phenotyping platform

The paper screens hexaploid wheat mutants to identify genetic variants affecting seminal root number using high-throughput phenotyping.

GNI-A1 mediates trade-off between grain number and grain weight in tetraploid wheat

This study identifies GNI-A1 as a gene mediating the trade-off between grain number and grain weight in tetraploid wheat through fine-mapping and functional analysis.

Unleashing floret fertility by a mutated homeobox gene improved grain yield during wheat evolution under domestication

This study identifies GNI1, a homeobox gene whose mutations increased floret fertility and grain yield in wheat during domestication.
