This study evaluates mutations in HB-2 in wheat, finding they improve grain protein content without reducing yield or accelerating senescence.

The paper uses spatial transcriptomics to identify two distinct regions regulating spikelet architecture and yield-related traits in wheat.

The paper tests whether stigma longevity limits hybrid wheat seed production by examining seed set in male sterile cultivars with varying stigma deterioration onset, finding that stigma receptivity remains stable during the pollination window.
