TL;DR: Rice plants with fewer stomata are drought tolerant and more conservative in their water use, and they should perform better in the future when climate change is expected to threaten food security.
Rice plants overexpressing OsEPF1 show reduced stomatal density and increased root cortical aerenchyma formation.

TL;DR: Surprisingly, it is found that root cortical aerenchyma (RCA) is formed constitutively in OsEPF1OE lines regardless of tissue age and position, and it is concluded that RCA development and stomatal development are linked by two possible mechanisms.

TL;DR: In this article , a series of morphological and physiological analyses under nutrient, water and heat stresses following a foliar application in wheat were conducted to uncover the underlying mechanism of root growth.

Growth Spectrum Complexity Dictates Aromatic Intensity in Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.)
Lorna McAusland,Mui-Ting Lim,David E. Morris,Hayley L. Smith-Herman,Umar Mohammed,Barrie Hayes-Gill,John A. Crowe,Ian D. Fisk,Erik H. Murchie +8 more
TL;DR: Spectra can be used to co-manipulate aroma profile and plant form with increasing spectral complexity leading to greater aromatic complexity and intensity and it is suggested that increasing spectral complex progressively stimulates signaling pathways giving rise to valuable economic traits.
