Ao et al. identified a BPM domain-containing gene on chromosome 10 as a key regulator of panicle exsertion in sorghum, linking impaired BR signaling and reduced parenchyma cell elongation to a sheathed panicle phenotype, with implications for breeding varieties suited for mechanized harvesting.
H3K36me3 plays a crucial role in plant development by activating gene expression and antagonizing repressive chromatin marks like H3K27me3 and H2A.Z, thereby shaping developmental and tissue-specific transcriptional programs.
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is hosting the Systems Biology: Global Regulation of Gene Expression meeting March 11-14, 2026. The focus of the meeting will be on encouraging collaboration between experimental and computational biologists exploring the structure and regulation of complex transcriptional networks in eukaryotic systems.
Researchers utilized multi-locus GWAS to uncover key QTNs and candidate genes associated with agronomic and yield-related traits in Ethiopian sorghum landraces, providing valuable insights for genomics-assisted breeding of resilient, high-yielding varieties.
The Department of Plant Sciences at North Dakota State University welcomes applications for a skilled and motivated chemist/technician to support our barley and malt quality analysis service and research efforts in the Department of Plant Sciences at North Dakota State University (NDSU).
The 2026 Maize Genetics meeting, hosted by the Maize Genetics Cooperation, will take place from February 26 to March 1 in Cologne, Germany. The meeting will include invited talks in genetics and plant biology, sessions covering broad subject areas to stimulate new ideas, oral presentation, poster sessions and networking opportunities.
