Land plants thrive in soils showing vastly different properties and environmental stresses1. Root systems can adapt to contrasting soil conditions and stresses, yet how their responses are programmed at the individual cell scale remains unclear. Usin...

Journal Article
Mehra, P., Pandey, B. K., Verma, L., Prusty, A., Singh, A. P., Sharma, S., Malik, N., Bennett, M. J., Parida, S. K., Giri, J., & Tyagi, A. K. (2022). 𝑂𝑠𝐽𝐴𝑍11 regulates spikelet and seed development in rice. Plant Direct, 6(5), Article e401. https://doi.org/10.1002/pld3.401

Seed size is one of the major determinants of seed weight and eventually, crop yield. As the global population is increasing beyond the capacity of current food production, enhancing seed size is a key target for crop breeders. Despite the identifica...
