The paper uses UAV-derived plant height data to predict maize grain yield variation within fields, showing moderate predictive accuracy but limitations in drought-stressed environments.

This study uses high-temporal-resolution plant height data to show that genetic and environmental factors influence plant growth differently across the growing season.

This study uses UAV imagery to track maize canopy cover over time, revealing its genetic and environmental influences and the limitations of single-time-point phenotyping.

The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly for Aphanomyces cochlioides, a sugar beet pathogen, using long-read and short-read sequencing data.

The paper shows that the Ug99 wheat stem rust pathogen emerged through somatic hybridisation and nuclear exchange between dikaryons, with one haploid nucleus genotype shared with an older African lineage.

This study characterizes TE family transcript abundance in maize using RNA-seq data from over 800 libraries, revealing dynamic and tissue-specific expression patterns.

The paper identifies variable transposable element (TE) insertions across four maize genomes, showing their role in genome organization and gene content variation.

The paper analyzes gene expression in maize hybrids and inbreds to show that single-parent expression is genotype- and tissue-specific, with implications for heterosis.

This study presents haplotype-phased genome assemblies of two dikaryotic Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae isolates, revealing structural variation and heterozygous SNPs, and identifies co-expressed effector candidates associated with virulence differences.
