Enhancing Sorghum Yield on Tropical Soils: The Crucial Role of Phosphate Efficiency and Root System Architecture

Tropical soils’ low phosphate availability and aluminum toxicity constrain sorghum cultivation, making P efficiency and root system architecture critical for enhancing grain yield in these challenging environments.

Sorghum: A Nutrient-Rich, Sustainable Solution for Modern Food Innovation

Sorghum is a nutrient-dense, drought-tolerant crop with significant health benefits, making it a sustainable and valuable ingredient for human food innovation.

Unraveling the Evolution of Cis-Regulatory Elements in C4 Photosynthesis Through Single-Cell Chromatin Accessibility

Researchers used single-cell ATAC-seq data to investigate the evolution of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) associated with C4 photosynthesis, revealing a mix of conserved and novel chromatin accessibility regions that drive cell-type-specific expression of C4 enzymes.
