The paper identifies Prkra dimer as a dsRNA sensor that blocks translation initiation in pluripotent cells, restricting viral replication and conserved across species.

This study identifies QTLs and genetic factors influencing phenotypic plasticity in maize traits across different environments, improving prediction accuracy for key agronomic traits.

The paper characterizes genomic variation across 744 Zea genomes, identifies adaptive variants, and highlights their potential for breeding applications.

The paper identifies ZmCOL3 as a flowering time repressor in maize that delays flowering by transactivating ZmCCT or interfering with the circadian clock, contributing to adaptation from tropical to temperate regions.
