This study shows that the MADS-WUS axis regulates floral initiation rates in barley, influencing inflorescence architecture and reproductive strategies through allele selection and duplication.

This study identifies GNI2 homoeo-alleles in wheat that improve grain yield by 5-15% across high- and low-input environments.

This study identifies a hypermorphic mutation in TaARF4-A2 that represses SPL-mediated developmental timing, leading to altered wheat architecture by promoting aerial branching and reducing reproductive development.

This study analyzes ARF gene family diversity in barley using a pan-genome approach, identifying HvARF3 as a candidate gene under selection linked to grain size and weight.

The paper links growth allometry in wheat to grain yield by analyzing genetic and phenotypic variation across cultivars in controlled and field conditions.
