This study identifies temperature-driven diurnal rhythms in CESA8 expression, linking secondary cell wall thickening to stem elongation in grasses.

The paper identifies dopamine biosynthesis pathway in plants using metabolite-based genome-wide association studies and demonstrates its role in tissue browning and stress tolerance.

The paper investigates the development and regulation of cortical sclerenchyma in grass nodal roots, showing mechanical forces stimulate wall thickening and identifying SECONDARY WALL NAC7 as a regulator.
