Salicornia is a halophytic flowering plants in the family Amaranthaceae. Here, the authors report chromosome-scale genome assemblies for six Salicornia species and reveal subgenome diversity, species ...

An experimental study in peanut identified AhPILS as a gene that regulates lateral-branch growth through asymmetric auxin ...

Newswise — In modern high-density orchards, tree shape is critical for maximizing light capture, improving fruit quality, and reducing management costs. However, many fruit trees naturally grow ...

Newswise — Drought stress poses a major challenge to global agriculture, particularly for water-intensive crops like cucumbers. Meanwhile, lateral branch development is a key trait in cucumber ...

A genetic method has been developed to cluster distantly related people, identifying rare genetic variants that can be used to find cases of undiagnosed genetic disease. Researchers from Vanderbilt ...

Plant trichomes, the hair-like structures covering aerial organs, serve as protective barriers against environmental stresses. However, the regulatory mechanisms controlling trichome branching in ...

A new discovery has unveiled a genetic module, CsTIE1-CsAGL16, that simultaneously regulates lateral branch development and drought tolerance in cucumbers. This dual-function genetic pathway offers a ...
