Tracking down the DNA for salt removal in a rice leaf sheath
The ability for salt removal at the leaf sheath level is considered to be one of the major mechanisms associated with salt tolerance in rice

From computer to field: can in silico modelling can help us to optimise rice for possible droughts?
Advances in computational models may allow us to quickly predict responses of important food crops to environmental stresses in the field, and to identify the genetic basis of these.

Genome-wide association study reveals genomic regions controlling root and shoot traits at late growth stages in wheat
How much wheat do we need? One prediction is we need production to double between 2005 and 2050. This challenge is more difficult due to abiotic stress with climate change. Long Li and colleagues have been examining...

Sequence polymorphisms in a phytoplasma underlie organ proliferation in maize
Maize bushy stunt phytoplasma (MBSP) is a vector-borne pathogen that induces multiple morphological alterations in maize plants. Orlovskis et al. find that MBSP isolates from two maize growing regions of Southeast...
