Genetic effects of plant plant interactions depend on neighbor identity and environmental context

The paper investigates how genetic variation in common bean affects plant-plant interactions with maize, showing that effects depend on neighbor identity and environmental context.

Evolution of crop phenotypic spaces through domestication

This study examines how domestication shapes multivariate phenotypic spaces across species, finding convergence, reduced phenotypic space, and a new index for cross-species comparison.

Revival of traditional agricultural systems A multidisciplinary on-farm survey of maize-bean intercropping reveals unexpected competition effects on beans.

This study investigates maize-bean intercropping through on-farm surveys and field assays, finding competition dominates over cooperation, primarily affecting bean yield and gene expression.
