This study identifies 7323 enhancers in the barley genome using STARR-seq, finding that 53.5% are repetitive sequences and enhancers extend up to ±100 KB of the gene body.

The paper identifies five QTL for spikelet number per spike in a tetraploid wheat population using a 55K SNP array and validates two major QTL with KASP markers.

This study identifies ZmGI1 as a pleotropic gene in maize that regulates flowering time and confers salt stress tolerance through circadian rhythms and redox pathways.
