#RootBiology #RootPhysiology #PlantScience
CLV3/EMBRYO-SURROUNDING REGION peptide signalling in legumes links plant development and environmental responses, with pea studies revealing that different CLE receptors play distinct and sometimes opposing roles in controlling shoot growth, especially under cool conditions, highlighting both conserved and flexible functions of this pathway beyond symbiosis.

🫛🌼 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.
