This study on Sorghum bicolor and Arabidopsis thaliana extracellular vesicles reveals partial conservation in protein content, providing crucial insights into the dynamic nature of intercellular communication and defense responses in plant cells.
Spike-in normalization improves the accuracy and reliability of differential gene expression analysis in plant RNA-Seq experiments, particularly under conditions where experimental factors significantly influence gene expression dynamics.
Pilot-scale genome-wide association mapping in diverse sorghum germplasms uncovered 42 significant quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs), revealing novel candidate genes influencing major agronomic, root, and stomatal traits such as plant height, dry biomass, and plant yield.
Genetic insights unveiled from comparing the root system architectures of sorghum and maize under drought, salt and nutrient deficiencies will pave the way for improved crop varieties resilient to abiotic stresses in a changing climate.
Variant consequences within 4 Dwarf and 6 Maturity loci among SAP genomes opens the door to breeding sorghum varieties with optimal plant height and flowering time.
