Plant architecture is a culmination of the features necessary for capturing light energy and
adapting to the environment. An ideal architecture can promote an increase in planting …

Millets constitute a significant proportion of underutilized grasses and are well known for
their climate resilience as well as excellent nutritional profiles. Among millets, foxtail millet …

Background High-purity RNA serves as the basic requirement for downstream molecular
analysis of plant species, especially the differential expression of genes to various biotic and …

MADS-box genes have a wide range of functions in plant reproductive development and
grain production. The ABCDE model of floral organ development shows that MADS-box …

Key message A combined transcriptomic and metabolic analysis of Setaria viridis leaves
responding to aphid infestation was used to identify genes related to serotonin biosynthesis …

Grass inflorescences support floral structures that each bear a single grain, where variation
in branch architecture directly impacts yield. The maize (Zea mays) RAMOSA1 (Zm RA1) …

Extreme environments, such as deserts and high-elevation ecosystems, are very important
from biodiversity and ecological perspectives. However, plant physiology at those sites has …

Directional transport of auxin is critical for inflorescence and floral development in flowering
plants, but the role of auxin influx carriers (AUX1 proteins) has been largely overlooked …

The morphological diversity of the inflorescence determines flower and seed production,
which is critical for plant adaptation. Hall's panicgrass (Panicum hallii, P. hallii) is a wild …

The CLAVATA pathway controls meristem size during inflorescence development in both
eudicots and grasses, and is initiated by peptide ligands encoded by CLV3/ESR-related …
