This study integrates metabolomics and genomics in sorghum to uncover the genetic basis of metabolic diversity, identifying millions of SNP-metabolite associations and gene clusters.

The paper identifies a temperature-sensitive chlorotic soybean mutant and shows that a mutation in Glyma.07G102300 causes the phenotype, with severity increasing at lower temperatures.

The paper identifies seven genetic modifiers of a reproductive barrier in maize, revealing complexity beyond the known ga1 locus.
