This study identifies regulators of transverse vein development in maize through transcriptomic and anatomical analyses, revealing EREB41 and EREB114 as essential genes.

This study identifies two new recessive alleles of the maize OPAQUE1 gene, revealing its role in plant growth and architecture through internode elongation and inflorescence development.

This study shows that maternal autophagy in maize affects kernel development and grain yield, with mutant plants showing reduced kernel size and yield.

The paper develops a cost-effective seed-chipping protocol using clipping pliers for maize genotyping, showing comparable DNA quality to leaf-based methods and no genotyping miscalls.

This paper reviews BR gene functions across plant species to identify conserved and diversified roles, using phylogenetic analysis and transcriptomic data to guide future research.
