Breeding crops for high yield and superior adaptability to new and variable climates is
imperative to ensure continued food security, biomass production, and ecosystem services …

Epigenetics refers to chemical modifications of chromatin or transcribed DNA that can
influence gene activity and expression without changes in DNA sequence. The last 20 years …

We report a computational approach (implemented in MS-DIAL 3.0; http://prime. psc. riken.

Novel high-throughput phenotyping (HTP) approaches are needed to advance the
understanding of genotype-to-phenotype and accelerate plant breeding. The first generation …

Drought tolerance is a complex trait that involves numerous genes. Identifying key causal
genes or linked molecular markers can facilitate the fast development of drought tolerant …

Plants are exposed to combinations of various biotic and abiotic stresses, but stress
responses are usually investigated for single stresses only. Here, we investigated the …

Red flower color has arisen multiple times and is generally associated with hummingbird
pollination. The majority of evolutionary transitions to red color proceeded from purple …

Societal Impact Statement Micronutrient deficiency is a serious and underestimated global
health concern. Identifying existing micronutritional richness in traditional crops, and …

Dark-induced senescence provokes profound metabolic shifts to recycle nutrients and to
guarantee plant survival. To date, research on these processes has largely focused on …

Despite the importance and wide exploitation of heterosis in commercial crop breeding, the
molecular mechanisms behind this phenomenon are not completely understood. Recent …
