Wheat pollination in line and hybrid varieties needs to be secured in a changing climate.
Cost-effective hybrid wheat seed production requires selection for outcrossing floral organs.

5-Enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) is the primary target of the broad-spectrum herbicide glyphosate, and several well-characterized amino acid substitutions in EPSPS are known to conf...
High planting density boosts crop yields but also heightens pest and pathogen risks. How plants adapt their defenses under these conditions remains unclear. In this study, we reveal that maize enhance...
