Do newer maize hybrids grow roots faster and deeper? Open
Understanding historical changes in root depth attributes is needed for crop productivity and sustainability assessments, but such information is rare. We explored whether newer maize ( Zea mays L.) hybrids grow roots faster and deeper tha…

Accelerated leaf appearance and flowering in maize after four decades of commercial breeding Open
Maize breeding programs have indirectly altered many plant traits; however, our knowledge of some important phenological traits remains unexplored. One such trait is leaf appearance rate, which is crucial for predicting maize development. …

Harvest index has increased over the last 50 years of maize breeding Open
Quantifying historical changes in maize harvest index (HI), the fraction of above-ground biomass allocated to grain yield, can enhance our ability to explain grain yield trends and estimate stover carbon inputs for sustainability assessmen…

X-ray microscopy enables multiscale high-resolution 3D imaging of plant cells, tissues, and organs Open
Capturing complete internal anatomies of plant organs and tissues within their relevant morphological context remains a key challenge in plant science. While plant growth and development are inherently multiscale, conventional light, fluor…
