This study shows that maternal autophagy in maize affects kernel development and grain yield, with mutant plants showing reduced kernel size and yield.

This study investigates how autophagy, the unfolded protein response, and the cytoplasmic heat stress response interact in maize under heat stress, revealing differential effects of autophagy loss on these pathways.

The paper demonstrates the use of natural language processing to analyze plant phenotype descriptions, generating similarity networks and providing a web tool for querying gene-phenotype associations.
