High‐density planting is an effective measure for increasing crop yield per unit land area.
Leaf angle (LA) is a key trait of plant architecture and a target for genetic improvement of …

The CRISPR/Cas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR
associated protein9) system is an RNA-guided genome editing tool that consists of a Cas9 …

Plants maintain populations of pluripotent stem cells in shoot apical meristems (SAMs),
which continuously produce new aboveground organs. We used single-cell RNA …

The world's crop productivity is stagnating whereas population growth, rising affluence, and
mandates for biofuels put increasing demands on agriculture. Meanwhile, demand for …

Deep learning methodologies have revolutionized prediction in many fields and show
potential to do the same in molecular biology and genetics. However, applying these …

Leaf architecture directly influences canopy structure, consequentially affecting yield. We
discovered a maize (Zea mays) mutant with aberrant leaf architecture, which we named …

Improving yield by increasing the size of produce is an important selection criterion during
the domestication of fruit and vegetable crops. Genes controlling meristem organization and …

Grass leaves develop from a ring of primordial initial cells within the periphery of the shoot
apical meristem, a pool of organogenic stem cells that generates all of the organs of the …

In grass crops, leaf angle is determined by development of the lamina joint, the tissue
connecting the leaf blade and sheath, and is closely related to crop architecture and yield. In …
