This study investigates how leaf ionomic stability, rather than plasticity, contributes to drought adaptation in pearl millet by analyzing 17 foliar elements across 175 inbred lines under drought conditions.

The paper identifies a specialized cell layer in rice stems that functions as a gravity sensor, distinct from the lignified endodermis, and shows its role in gravitropic responses through starch sedimentation and auxin signaling.

This study identifies genetic determinants of rice root anatomy through genome-wide association analysis of 185 Vietnamese rice landraces, uncovering 24 SNPs linked to anatomical traits and drought tolerance.

This study identifies genetic factors influencing leaf ion concentrations in pearl millet and links them to root and agromorphological traits to improve nutrient efficiency.

The paper examines how root metaxylem area affects drought tolerance and transpiration in pearl millet, showing soil texture-dependent water use strategies.
