🫛🌼 RESEARCH 🌼🫛

Multi-environment field studies reveal independent genetic controls for mungbean flowering time and duration, with duration showing higher degree of genotype × environment interactions than flowering time 🧬

✍️ Dudley et al.

🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/...

#PlantScience 🧪
Fig. 1.Phenotypic variation in flowering time and duration for the parents and families of the mungbean nested association mapping population. The population was developed from the 30 diverse donor parents crossed to the reference parent Crystal. (A) Days to flowering and (B) flowering duration, both measured as thermal time. Each boxplot shows the distributional spread across genotypes using the best linear unbiased estimates (BLUEs) for genotypes, calculated across the four environments. Boxplots display the interquartile range (box), median (horizontal line), and values within 1.5× the interquartile range (whiskers); points beyond are shown as outliers. Shading differentiates families of the NAM population and is consistent across panels.

🌾🌱 RESEARCH 🌱🌾

Strigolactones exhibit a dual action by repressing tillering to indirectly promote barley grain size, while directly repressing grain size later during reproduction - Kelly et al.

🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/...

#PlantScience 🧪 @coeplantsuccess.bsky.social
Fig. 10.Overview of the function of SLs throughout barley development in response to changing conditions. (A) SLs balance the root:shoot ratio, increasing root investment in suboptimal conditions. (B) SLs regulate tillering during vegetative growth, repressing tillering and reducing grain number in suboptimal conditions. (C) During reproductive development, SLs influence assimilate translocation via regulating leaf senescence and potentially act in grains to repress grain size in suboptimal conditions.
