The paper identifies structural and coding variations in PHYTOCHROMES A and C that influence flowering time and shade avoidance in wheat under different light conditions.

The paper maps spatial metabolite distributions in barley inflorescences to link polyamine turnover and vascular lipid remodeling to spikelet fate.

This study shows that the MADS-WUS axis regulates floral initiation rates in barley, influencing inflorescence architecture and reproductive strategies through allele selection and duplication.

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.

This study identifies GNI2 homoeo-alleles in wheat that improve grain yield by 5-15% across high- and low-input environments.

This study identifies a hypermorphic mutation in TaARF4-A2 that represses SPL-mediated developmental timing, leading to altered wheat architecture by promoting aerial branching and reducing reproductive development.

This study analyzes ARF gene family diversity in barley using a pan-genome approach, identifying HvARF3 as a candidate gene under selection linked to grain size and weight.

The paper links growth allometry in wheat to grain yield by analyzing genetic and phenotypic variation across cultivars in controlled and field conditions.

This study investigates the role of pre-anthesis light signaling in barley inflorescences, showing that light-dependent chlorophyll accumulation (PEIG) is critical for floral survival and pollen viability.

This study identifies HvFCP1 and HvCLV1 as key regulators of barley inflorescence architecture by coordinating meristem activity and determinacy.
