Variation at the ZmCALS5 promoter regulates maize pollen fertility by modulating ZmABI4 binding affinity [0.03%]
ZmCALS5启动子的变异通过调节ZmABI4结合亲和力调控玉米花粉育性
Junyao Li,Tengyue Wang,Xi Wang et al.
Junyao Li et al.
Pollen fertility is a key factor affecting yield in maize (Zea mays), but the mechanism underlying this trait in natural accessions is poorly understood. Here, we performed quantitative trait locus mapping and identified the candidate gene ...
MtGRF8 interacts with MtSymCRK and prevents early bacteroid death during Medicago - Sinorhizobium symbiosis [0.03%]
MtGRF8与MtSymCRK互作，在Medicago-Sinorhizobium共生过程中防止早 bacteroid死亡
Chaoyan Yin,Kévin Magne,Fathi Berrabah et al.
Chaoyan Yin et al.
In Medicago littoralis R-108, Symbiotic CYSTEINE-RICH RECEPTOR-LIKE KINASE (MtSymCRK) is required to prevent defense reactions in symbiotic nodules during chronic infection. MtSymCRK represents a key legume symbiotic gene controlling nodule...
Flow similarity model characterizes hydraulic-mechanical trade-offs driving size-dependent allometric scaling across branch orders in oak trees [0.03%]
流动相似模型刻画了液压-机械trade-off驱动的橡树各级枝序尺寸依赖的几何异速生长关系

Han Sun et al.
Allometry is central to understanding resource allocation strategies in plant development, with branching networks serving as critical determinants of allometric scaling patterns. While current theoretical models propose frameworks for allo...
For colonization success, should hosts and microbes travel alone, together, or swap partners along the way? [0.03%]
宿主和微生物在定植过程应当单独行动、结伴而行还是途中更换伙伴？

Microbiomes that enhance the performance of host plants are likely to be co-introduced with their host during colonization because of their intimate association. Yet, it is unclear how co-introduced microbes will impact host colonization, a...
Phenotypic plasticity is broadly adaptive across an elevation gradient in the Cutleaf Monkeyflower [0.03%]
表型可塑性在裂叶monkeyflower的海拔梯度上具有广泛适应性

Phenotypic plasticity is a key mechanism by which organisms cope with environmental heterogeneity, but its evolutionary consequences depend on how plastic responses align with the broader adaptive landscape. We tested whether plasticity in ...
A β-1,3-glucanase antagonizes a phase-separating WRKY repressor to confer saline-alkaline tolerance in rice [0.03%]
水稻中一种β-1,3-葡聚糖酶通过拮抗相分离WRKY转录抑制子提高盐碱胁迫抗性
Tian-Jing Wang,Shuangzhan Huang,Xin Tian et al.
Tian-Jing Wang et al.
Saline-alkaline stress imposes combined ionic and high-pH challenges that severely limit rice productivity, yet the molecular mechanisms linking stress perception to transcriptional reprogramming remain poorly understood. Here, we identify ...
Eco-evolutionary context modifies a destructive plant invader's response to climate [0.03%]

Understanding the relationship between climate and fitness will be important when predicting how plant populations respond to climate change. We conducted a replicated common garden experiment (4 sites × 2 yr) with 96 genotypes (n = 22 492...
Arbuscular mycorrhiza provides postanthesis benefits to maximize wheat grain yield and nitrogen concentration [0.03%]
外囊菌根菌通过产后效益提高小麦产量及氮浓度
Jie Zhou,Baowei Huang,Ruoyan Yang et al.
Jie Zhou et al.
A trade-off between high grain yield and high protein (or nitrogen, N) concentration is frequently observed for crop plants in agroecosystems and is difficult to resolve using conventional agricultural methods. Whether ecological strategies...
