Secondary cell walls mediate many crucial biological processes in plants including
mechanical support, water and nutrient transport and stress management. They also provide …

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is one of the top five cereal crops in the world in terms of
production and planting area and is widely grown in areas with severe abiotic stresses such …

Three theories of apical dominance, direct, diversion, and indirect, were proposed in the
1930s to explain how auxin synthesized in the shoot apex might inhibit axillary bud …

Bioenergy sorghum is a drought-tolerant high-biomass C4 grass targeted for production on
annual cropland marginal for food crops due primarily to abiotic constraints. To better …

Bioenergy sorghum is a highly productive drought tolerant C4 grass that accumulates 80%
of its harvestable biomass in approximately 4 m length stems. Stem internode growth is …

Cultivating new alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) varieties with high yield and quality is of great
significance for improving alfalfa yield and promoting the development of the grass and …

The protein kinase (PK) superfamily is one of the largest superfamilies in plants and the core
regulator of cellular signaling. Despite this substantial importance, the kinomes of sugarcane …

Many plants dramatically elongate their stems during flowering, yet how this response is
coordinated with the reproductive phase is unclear. We demonstrate that microRNA …

A plant's lateral structures, such as leaves, branches and flowers, literally hinge on the shoot
axis, making its integrity and growth fundamental to plant form. In all plants, subapical …

Bioenergy sorghum is a low‐input, drought‐resilient, deep‐rooting annual crop that has high
biomass yield potential enabling the sustainable production of biofuels, biopower, and …
