This study identifies convergent genomic and gene-level constraints in grasses adapting to extreme environments using phylogenomic data and large language models.

This study identifies cellular and genetic changes in maize and teosinte ears, showing how cytokinin signaling and transcription factor expression differences drive cob thickening and increased kernel number during domestication.

The paper develops a Percoll-based nuclei isolation workflow for snRNA-seq in multiple plant species, showing high yield and quality across tissues and species.

The paper characterizes genomic variation across 744 Zea genomes, identifies adaptive variants, and highlights their potential for breeding applications.
