This study identifies genes and microstructures responsible for superhydrophobicity in rice leaves, showing cuticular wax accumulation and papillae differentiation play key roles.

This study shows that the juvenile-to-adult phase transition in wheat is independent of VRN1, the master regulator of vernalization.

This study identifies a novel gene associated with soybean-rhizobia symbiosis through QTL analysis and RNA-seq, potentially improving soybean yield under low nitrogen conditions.
