This study shows that soybean breeding has reduced shade avoidance but recent cultivars are more susceptible to thrips under shade-inducing light conditions.

The paper shows that data leakage and measurement errors can falsely inflate the predictability of plant mixture overyielding from traits, highlighting the need for rigorous validation.

The paper investigates epigenetic inheritance in Arabidopsis by simulating herbivory selection and finds weak evidence for heritable epigenetic variation, while highlighting issues with previous studies.

The paper shows that root allocation increases under combined above- and belowground competition in soybean, but not under belowground competition alone.
