  • In maize, ZmDapF1 suppresses the activity of ZmMDH6 in chloroplasts, exacerbating oxidative damage under drought. Knocking out ZmDapF1 or using its favourable allele with lower gene expression enhances drought resilience without yield penalty.

  • This study presents 25 new maize genome assemblies and integrates them with 31 publicly available maize genomes to conduct a pangenome analysis that provides genetic insights into drought resistance.

  • Feng Qin and colleagues perform a genome-wide association study for drought tolerance in maize seedlings and find 42 candidate genes. They characterize a promoter insertion in the ZmVPP1 gene containing MYB-binding sites, which enables the drought-inducible expression of ZmVPP1, leading to drought tolerance, a phenotype confirmed through transgenic experiments.

  • Drought is a major cause of yield loss in maize and understanding the genetic determinants of natural variation in drought tolerance may aid breeding programs produce more tolerant varieties. Here, Mao et al.identify a MITE transposon insertion in a NAC transcription factor, which is associated with natural variation in drought tolerance.

  • Isothermal crystallization of PLLA/PBA blends shows great difference to that of neat polymer. Blends have faster crystallization rate and lower melting temperature than PLLA in high-temperature region. However, blends form different crystal structures to that of neat PBA at low temperatures and have lower crystallization rate. The crystallization rate, morphology and crystal structure of neat PLLA and PBA can be modulated by mutual blending.

  • The morphology of PLLA/PBA crystalline/crystalline system reveals abundant morphologies in different crystallization condition. Neat PLLA and PBA usually show Maltese-cross spherulites. However, banded spherulites and branched structures of blends formed in high-temperature region in this work. In addition, fragments morphology is discovered in low-temperature region. These different morphologies are related to the changes of crystallization environment caused by crystalline/crystalline blending.
