Defining critical drivers of cross-pollination for better hybrid grain set in wheat

The paper identifies key floral and reproductive traits that influence cross-pollination efficiency in wheat, showing that combined trait analysis explains more variation in hybrid grain set than visual anther extrusion alone.

Sodium azide mutagenesis induces a unique pattern of mutations

This study analyzes mutations induced by sodium azide in barley, finding specific patterns of SNVs and indels that differ from natural variation.
