An adaptive teosinte mexicana introgression modulates phosphatidylcholine levels and is associated with maize flowering time

This study identifies an introgression from teosinte mexicana that affects HPC1, modulating phosphatidylcholine levels and influencing maize flowering time under low-temperature conditions.

Molecular Parallelism Underlies Convergent Highland Adaptation of Maize Landraces

This study identifies molecular parallelism in highland maize landraces, showing convergent adaptation through shared SNPs, genes, and pathways related to flowering time.

Single-gene resolution of locally adaptive genetic variation in Mexican maize

The paper identifies adaptive genetic loci in Mexican maize landraces by analyzing genotype-environment interactions across multiple environments, showing their potential for climate adaptation.

Morphological plant modeling: Unleashing geometric and topological potential within the plant sciences

This paper discusses the importance of mathematical modeling in plant morphology and outlines challenges and opportunities for integrating geometric and topological approaches in plant science research and education.

Malate-dependent Fe accumulation is a critical checkpoint in the root developmental response to low phosphate

The paper identifies STOP1 and ALMT1 as critical genes in Arabidopsis root development under low phosphate conditions, linking malate exudation to Fe accumulation and root growth regulation.
