The paper induces and characterizes autotetraploid sweet sorghum lines to improve sugar production for bioethanol, showing equal or better performance than diploid lines.

This study identifies a novel maize gene, rdla1, which affects leaf area and shows genotype-dependent effects when introgressed into diverse genetic backgrounds.

This study examines the impact of PEPC phosphorylation by PEPC-PK in Zea mays mutants, finding that while phosphorylation affects in vitro enzyme sensitivity to malate, it does not significantly alter photosynthetic performance or growth under field conditions.

The paper shows that non-stomatal regulation of transpiration occurs due to reduced plasma membrane conductance in the outside-xylem zone under moderate xylem water stress.

This study examines a Zea mays slac1-2 mutant to assess its impact on water use efficiency and agronomic traits, finding no improvement in CO2 assimilation or yield despite increased stomatal conductance.

The paper analyzes genetic diversity in North American popcorn germplasm, identifies two distinct populations, and links population structure to nicosulfuron response.
