OsWOX13 functions as a heading signal transducer from integrator Ehd1 to florigen for the accurate regulation of rice heading date

Abstract Appropriate heading date is an important safeguard for stabilizing rice yield and quality. Heading integrator Ehd1 and florigen Hd3a are crucial for rice heading. However, the mechanism by which Ehd1 transmits heading signals to Hd3a and the accurate regulation of Hd3a e...

Multivariate analysis of agro-morphological traits to unlock the genetic divergence of Ethiopian cultivated barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) genotypes

Barley is a prominent cereal crop and a center of diversity in Ethiopia, with a huge collection in the genebank. However, its productivity in the country remains low due to the underutilization of the available genetic resources. Thus, the study aimed to explore the genetic diver...
