Glutaredoxin regulation of primary root growth is associated with early drought stress tolerance in pearl millet

Genetic analysis of the rice jasmonate receptors reveals specialized function for OsCOI2

The paper investigates the function of OsCOI2 in rice, showing it plays a specialized role in jasmonate-dependent root growth inhibition, distinct from OsCOI1a and OsCOI1b.

High-throughput phenotyping reveals a link between transpiration efficiency and transpiration restriction under high evaporative demand and new loci controlling water use-related traits in African rice, Oryza glaberrima Steud.

The paper identifies genetic links between transpiration efficiency and restriction in African rice, finding heritable traits that could improve water use strategies in breeding.

Genetic control of rhizosheath formation in pearl millet

This study identifies genetic factors controlling rhizosheath formation in pearl millet, showing it is mainly regulated by root exudation and involves complex genetic control.

Aquaporins are main contributors of root hydraulic conductivity in pearl millet

This study identifies PIP1 family aquaporins as main contributors to root hydraulic conductivity in pearl millet, linking them to water use efficiency.

Development of a model estimating root length density from root impacts on a soil profile in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br). Application to measure root system response to water stress in field conditions

The paper develops a model to estimate root length density from root intersection densities in pearl millet, showing root reorientation under water stress.

Response to early drought stress and identification of QTLs controlling biomass production under drought in pearl millet

The paper identifies QTLs controlling biomass production and drought tolerance in pearl millet using genome-wide association analysis of drought-stressed and well-irrigated inbred lines.
