  • Grasses have diverse inflorescence morphologies, but the underlying genetic mechanisms are unclear. Here, the authors report a TCP transcription factor COM1 affects cell growth through regulation of cell wall properties and promotes branch formation in non-Triticeae grasses but branch inhibition in barley (Triticeae).

  • Characterization of the genetic architecture underlying the 7 pairs of contrasting traits studied by Mendel and the over 70 additional agronomic traits in pea (Pisum sativum) reveals their molecular details and provides tools for further studies in pea genetics, functional genomics and crop improvement.

  • An understanding of the genetic network that controls the flower-bearing structure—the inflorescence—in plants helps to explain the diversity seen in plant forms. This work identifies a new mechanism for the generation of inflorescence complexity in legumes, which is based on the function of theVEG1gene.

  • The genes FANCM, RECQ4 and FIGL1 affect meiotic recombination in Arabidopsis. By examining the effects of their orthologues on recombination in three crop species, the authors find that mutating RECQ4 could be a universal tool for increasing recombination.

  • Guercio et al., combine structural biology, biochemistry, and plant biology to reveal the dual functions of evolutionarily diverged Pisum KAI2A and KAI2B as both receptors and enzymes with distinct ligand selectivity, and propose adaptive sensitivity to strigolactone phytohormones by KAI2B. They reported the structures of KAI2 in apo and ligand intermediate -bound states that further illuminate KAI2s catalysis mechanism.
