Open AccessMonitoring of drought stress and transpiration rate using proximal thermal and hyperspectral imaging in an indoor automated plant phenoty** platform
Thermography is a popular tool to assess plant water-use behavior, as plant temperature is influenced by transpiration rate, and is commonly used in field experiments to detect plant water deficit. Its applica...

The cutting edge of grass leaves
The flat structure of a leaf blade enables it to function as a photosynthetic organ for efficient light capture. The leaf rim or the edge-most region of leaf margin directs the planar growth of both leaves and...

Open AccessRoot engineering in maize by increasing cytokinin degradation causes enhanced root growth and leaf mineral enrichment
Root-specific expression of a cytokinin-degrading CKX gene in maize roots causes formation of a larger root system leading to higher element content in shoot organs.

Open AccessTap** into the maize root microbiome to identify bacteria that promote growth under chilling conditions
When maize (Zea mays L.) is grown in the Northern hemisphere, its development is heavily arrested by chilling temperatures, especially at the juvenile phase. As some endophytes are beneficial for plants under str...

Open AccessUnravelling the genetic basis of Fusarium seedling rot resistance in the MAGIC maize population: novel targets for breeding
Fungal infection by Fusarium verticillioides is cause of prevalent maize disease leading to substantial reductions in yield and grain quality worldwide. Maize resistance to the fungus may occur at different devel...

Open AccessAltered expression of maize PLASTOCHRON1 enhances biomass and seed yield by extending cell division duration
Maize is the highest yielding cereal crop grown worldwide for grain or silage. Here, we show that modulating the expression of the maize PLASTOCHRON1 (ZmPLA1) gene, encoding a cytochrome P450 (CYP78A1), results i...

Open AccessCorrelation analysis of the transcriptome of growing leaves with mature leaf parameters in a maize RIL population
To sustain the global requirements for food and renewable resources, unraveling the molecular networks underlying plant growth is becoming pivotal. Although several approaches to identify genes and networks in...

Open AccessGenetic properties of the MAGIC maize population: a new platform for high definition QTL map** in Zea mays
Maize (Zea mays) is a globally produced crop with broad genetic and phenotypic variation. New tools that improve our understanding of the genetic basis of quantitative traits are needed to guide predictive crop b...

Open AccessLEAF-E: a tool to analyze grass leaf growth using function fitting
In grasses, leaf growth is often monitored to gain insights in growth processes, biomass accumulation, regrowth after cutting, etc. To study the growth dynamics of the grass leaf, its length is measured at reg...
