From smartphone to gene: Automated image-based phenotyping captures flowering diversity of common buckwheat

The paper uses smartphone imaging and automated analysis to phenotype flowering traits in buckwheat, identifying heritable traits and genomic regions associated with flowering patterns.

Integrative multi-environmental genomic prediction in apple

This study applies statistical and deep learning models to multi-environmental genomic prediction in apple, showing improved predictive ability for certain traits.

From neglecting to including cultivar-specific per se temperature responses: Extending the concept of thermal time for plant development modeling

This study challenges the assumption of species-level temperature responses in plant development models by showing cultivar-specific temperature responses significantly affect phenology and other stressor interactions.

Fine-mapping and comparative genomic analysis reveal the gene composition at the S and Z self-incompatibility loci in grasses

This study fine-maps the Z-locus in perennial ryegrass and identifies two genes encoding DUF247 domain proteins and sZ as pollen and stigma determinants, revealing a duplicated origin of the SI system in grasses.

Cooperative sensing of mitochondrial DNA by ZBP1 and cGAS promotes cardiotoxicity

This study shows that ZBP1 and cGAS cooperate to detect mitochondrial DNA, leading to cardiotoxicity, and that blocking this interaction protects against heart damage.

Identification of candidate genes for self-compatibility in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.)

The paper fine maps a QTL for self-compatibility in perennial ryegrass to a 0.26 cM region containing 57 predicted genes, identifying seven candidate genes.

Temperature response of wheat affects final height and the timing of stem elongation under field conditions

This study examines how temperature affects stem elongation timing and final height in wheat under field conditions, identifying heritable QTLs linked to temperature response and flowering pathways.

Precision phenotyping reveals novel loci for quantitative resistance to septoria tritici blotch in European winter wheat

The paper uses high-throughput automated phenotyping to identify novel genetic loci associated with quantitative resistance to septoria tritici blotch in wheat.
