This paper develops a scalable, cost-effective DNA extraction method using CTAB plates for crop plants, enabling high-throughput PCR-based genotyping.

The paper examines how nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) varies with abiotic stressors and developmental stages across plant species, revealing species- and genotype-specific responses.

This study identifies genetic variants associated with photosynthetic traits in maize by controlling environmental and spatial confounders, revealing high-confidence GWAS signals and validating candidate genes through insertion alleles.

This study uses comparative GWAS to identify genes influencing NPQ kinetics in sorghum, maize, and Arabidopsis, revealing a Mendelian gene involved in pigment degradation.

The paper examines genotype-specific responses of non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) to nitrogen deficit in maize, finding correlations between NPQ changes and chlorophyll a/b ratios.
