The paper examines the genetic basis of leaf vein density in maize and links it to photosynthesis, finding that higher vein density correlates with increased photosynthetic rates in small intermediate veins.

SiteCELL enables on-site purification and cryopreservation of PBMCs for immune single cell profiling, performing as well as Ficoll density gradient in both lab and rural settings.

This study shows that SHR regulates multiple C4 traits in Setaria viridis by controlling cell identities and photosynthetic gene expression, reducing photosynthetic capacity and seed yield under heat stress.

The paper uses single-cell RNA-seq to map the maize root transcriptome and identifies a mechanism regulating cortex layer number through the SHR signaling pathway.

The paper describes the development of a cloud-based platform for managing, analyzing, and distributing MaizeCODE data, enhancing reproducibility and accessibility.
