This study uses CRISPR/Cas9 to edit three flowering repressor genes in tropical maize, reducing photoperiod sensitivity and enabling earlier flowering in both short-day and long-day conditions.

This study evaluates prediction models for tocochromanol content in maize grain using genomic and transcriptomic data, finding that incorporating biological knowledge improves predictive ability.

The paper combines GWAS and TWAS to identify 13 candidate causal genes for tocochromanol levels in maize grain, including five previously unassociated genes.
