This study examines the effects of strigolactone mutants in Sorghum bicolor on ecophysiology and symbioses, revealing trade-offs in parasitic plant resistance and mycorrhizal interactions.

This study investigates the role of maize inversion Inv4m in adaptation to phosphorus-deficient soils and finds that phosphorus deficiency does not drive its adaptive value.

This paper identifies the chromosomal inversion Inv4m in teosinte mexicana and shows it affects maize flowering time, plant height, and gene networks through JMJ histone demethylases.

The paper uses a MAGIC population to study genetic architecture of clinal traits in Mexican maize, finding one major QTL for tassel branching and multiple QTL for flowering time with complex environmental associations.
