This study identifies a MAP-kinase, BdMPK5, as critical for CO2-induced stomatal closure in Brachypodium, using forward genetics and structural modeling.

This study identifies MSIL2 and MSIL4 as cell type-specific regulators of secondary cell wall formation in Arabidopsis by controlling mRNA translation and biosynthetic gene expression.

This study shows that PHYTOCHROME C activates PHOTOPERIOD1 via EARLY FLOWERING 3 in Brachypodium distachyon, revealing ELF3 as a repressor of PPD1 in the photoperiod flowering pathway.

This study identifies BdPOX, a peroxidase, as a regulator of hair cell and stomatal size in Brachypodium distachyon, showing its role in cell wall modification and epidermal function.

The expression of a grass p-coumaroyl-CoA:monolignol transferase induces high p-coumaroylation of poplar lignins, improving saccharification of alkali-pretreated wood without affecting growth.

This study identifies COM1 as a gene regulating inflorescence shape in barley by controlling meristem identity signals, with implications for evolution and breeding.
