This study identifies nitrate's role in regulating anchor root formation and shows cytokinin's inhibitory effect through IBA to IAA conversion.

The paper shows that genomic ancestry explains more of the dominant expression axis in Arabidopsis thaliana than environmental factors, and identifies a heritable proliferation module linked to growth phenotypes.

The paper develops Ariadne to analyze root system architecture tradeoffs in Arabidopsis, finding developmental stage, genotype, and manganese availability influence cost-efficiency balance.

The paper identifies 1546 gene loci associated with leaf trichome development and epidermal metal accumulation in Arabidopsis through GWAS, highlighting candidate genes and pathways.

This study identifies GROOT genes in Arabidopsis that regulate root biomass and temperature adaptation, showing they enhance biomass without negative trade-offs.

The paper uses a new root phenotyping system to conduct a GWAS on soybean root system architecture, identifying SNPs and gene networks associated with specific root traits.

The paper shows plasmodesmata function as ER-PM tubular membrane contact sites that regulate intercellular molecular exchange in plants through PI4P and MCTP proteins.

This paper introduces a segmentation-free root phenotyping method using pose estimation, showing high accuracy and efficiency compared to segmentation-based approaches.

The paper estimates the mutation rate and evolutionary relevance in a colonizing plant lineage using historical and modern genomic data.
