The paper uses single cell transcriptomes to study how regulatory networks change during the development of Kranz anatomy in C4 grasses.

The paper uses single-nucleus RNA sequencing to study cell heterogeneity and developmental trajectories in maize leaf primordia, identifying potential regulators of Kranz anatomy development.

This study investigates the evolutionary transition from C3 to C4 photosynthesis in Flaveria, finding that decreasing precipitation and increasing temperature drive the process, with drought playing a dominant role.

This study shows that decreasing antenna size in rice affects photosynthesis and yield depending on the quantum yield of photosystem II, with homozygous lines showing reduced performance.

The paper develops a mechanistic model of plant carbon nitrogen interaction to predict and optimize crop yield through targeted genetic manipulations.
