The paper examines gene expression variation in rice under salinity stress, finding trans-eQTLs dominate and cis-trans reinforcement is more common than compensation.

This study uses multiplexed in situ hybridization to show distinct lineage identities for major and minor vein initiation in maize leaves, suggesting both lineage- and position-based mechanisms in venation patterning.

This study identifies the WIP6 transcription factor TML as specifying vein rank in maize and rice, with implications for C4 photosynthesis engineering in rice.

The paper shows that the number of RPW8/HR repeats influences hybrid necrosis severity when combined with specific RPP7 variants in Arabidopsis thaliana.

The paper presents a rainfall-manipulation experiment with 517 Arabidopsis thaliana accessions to study adaptation and fitness under different climate conditions.
