Nature Plants, Published online: 14 April 2022; doi:10.1038/s41477-022-01134-wMembrane receptor kinases are involved in many signalling pathways in plants. Here, the authors show that a common mechanism, consisting of a RLCK kinase and…
Nature Plants, Published online: 14 April 2022; doi:10.1038/s41477-022-01131-zThis analysis looks at water use efficiency within and across multiple regions with different plant functional types, and finds that water use efficiency val…
Nature Plants, Published online: 14 April 2022; doi:10.1038/s41477-022-01121-1In tomato, the transcription factor DOF9 regulates inflorescence termination and flower development, which determines fruit yield. DOF9 is connected to the a…

Nature Plants, Published online: 28 March 2022; doi:10.1038/s41477-022-01118-wGene duplication and subsequent paralogue diversification shape phenotypes. This study shows how paralogues controlling stem cell proliferation evolve over s…
Nature Plants, Published online: 24 March 2022; doi:10.1038/s41477-022-01128-8Theory predicts duplicate genes will evolve new functions or be lost from genomes rather than maintain redundant functions. Kwon et al. show that redundant p…
