We present unresolved questions in plant abiotic stress biology as posed by 15 research
groups with expertise spanning eco-physiology to cell and molecular biology. Common …

Plant microbiome research highlights the importance of indigenous microbial communities
for host phenotypes such as growth and health. It aims to discover the molecular basis by …

Since the first half of the twentieth century, evolutionary theory has been dominated by the
idea that mutations occur randomly with respect to their consequences. Here we test this …

Plants deploy cell-surface and intracellular leucine rich-repeat domain (LRR) immune
receptors to detect pathogens. LRR receptor kinases and LRR receptor proteins at the …

Advancing crop genomics requires efficient genetic systems enabled by high-quality
personalized genome assemblies. Here, we introduce RagTag, a toolset for automating …

Anthropogenic habitat loss and climate change are reducing species' geographic ranges,
increasing extinction risk and losses of species' genetic diversity. Although preserving …

Aegilops tauschii, the diploid wild progenitor of the D subgenome of bread wheat, is a
reservoir of genetic diversity for improving bread wheat performance and environmental …

With the goal of charting plant transcriptional regulatory maps (ie transcription factors (TFs),
cis-elements and interactions between them), we have upgraded the TF-centred database …

Large-scale population genomic surveys are essential to explore the phenotypic diversity of
natural populations. Here we report the whole-genome sequencing and phenoty** of …

Many organisms evolved strategies to survive desiccation. Plant seeds protect dehydrated
embryos from various stressors and can lay dormant for millennia. Hydration is the key …
