This work opens a novel perspective for the study of vascular pattering in crops and its potential impact in the physiology of economically relevant plants.

Novel forms of potentially antifungal linear fengycins may serve as a basis for the development of more powerful plant protective agents.

Not only is the pool-seq method remarkably accurate in measuring SNP frequencies but it can also reveal new information that biogeographic studies of plant distributions cannot, namely data on the relative amount of effective dispersal across geographic barriers.

Male gametes need only 1 min to find the egg, fuse, induce homogenous cell wall secretion and start showing adhesive properties, underlying the role of the ECM as a fast sperm block in D. dichotoma.

Increased hot and cold spells resulting from climate change could affect bread-making quality or seed quality for growing subsequent wheat crops, depending upon when they occur.

Reproductive traits important to coevolving interactions, such as the floral scent of L. bolanderi, may be more canalized than other traits important for plant fitness.

This is the first study to identify QTLs for rooting at depth in field-grown wheat at mature growth stages.

Self-incompatible plants were less frequent in populations with consistently worse pollination environment, suggesting that reproductive assurance selects for selfing in these areas.
