Summary: Elephant grass is a potential lignocellulosic biofuel feedstock due to its high biomass yield and persistence. Study on the molecular mechanism of internode elongation in elephant grass reveals that plant height positively correlates with internode length, rather than internode number. The dwarf and tall cultivars exhibit significant differences in plant height, internode length, and gibberellin concentrations, providing insights into the molecular pathways regulating internode elongation in elephant grass.

Summary: This study investigated the response of two stoloniferous clonal plants to plant-soil feedbacks, and found that biotic plant-soil feedbacks differed among different species and physically-connected ramets of the same clone. Moreover, physiological integration or plasticity in stolon internode lengths could not help Hydrocotyle vulgaris alleviate the negative effects of plant-soil feedbacks.

Summary: Exogenous plant growth retardants can increase maize yield and lodging resistance by optimizing application timing, especially in lodging-prone conditions. Lodging can affect maize yield, so selecting appropriate PGRs to improve yield and lodging resistance should be considered in practice.

Summary: This study systematically investigated the cytological characteristics and underlying mechanism of morphological variation in culms of a bamboo variant called Shidu bamboo. The study found that the anatomical essence of wall thickening in Shidu bamboo is the lateral increase of ground tissue and the enlargement of vascular bundles, while the shortening of internodes is mainly due to the limited elongation of fiber cells and the decrease in the number of parenchyma cells. Differential expression of certain genes involved in gibberellin synthesis and cell wall component synthesis may play an important role in determining the phenotype of internode shortening in Shidu bamboo.

Summary: In this study, we identified multiple QTLs associated with plant height and node number in soybean. We found two genomic regions that overlap with known genes Dt1 and Dt2, which regulate both traits. Furthermore, by combining specific alleles, we were able to breed soybean plants with ideal architecture, shorter main stems and more nodes.

Summary: Ethephon application timing has significant effects on maize yield, lodging rate, and internode length. Delayed ethephon application can increase yield, prevent lodging, and promote photosynthate partitioning within plants, enhancing kernel formation and growth.

Summary: Alfalfa productivity, cold resistance, and nutrient resorption efficiency are influenced by the fall-dormancy level. Moderate fall-dormancy alfalfa types have better survival rates and dry matter yield with increased reabsorption requirements for nitrogen and phosphorus.

Summary: In this study, the role of the FT2 gene in shoot apex development and internode elongation in poplar was investigated using CRISPR/Cas9 editing tool. Results showed that FT2 is crucial for promoting shoot apex development and restricting internode elongation, and it acts through the regulation of the gibberellin 13-hydroxylation pathway.

Summary: The paper proposes a framework called O-2-Bert for target-based sentiment analysis. It consists of two stages: Opinion target extraction (OTE-Bert) and Opinion sentiment classification (OSC-Bert). Experimental results demonstrate competitive performances of the framework on both target extraction and sentiment classification tasks in the restaurant and laptop domains.

Summary: Selection for fall dormancy in alfalfa can impact other traits such as dry matter yield, winter survival rate, and chemical compositions. The study found that varieties Zhongmu No. 2 and Caoyuan No. 3 had high winter survival rates and were recommended for planting in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China. Zhongmu No. 2 had the highest dry matter yield over four years, along with lower fiber contents and higher relative feed values.

Summary: This research aimed to determine the forage yield and quality characteristics of alfalfa cultivars with different dormancy rates under Mediterranean conditions. The study found that the Nimet and Ozpinar cultivars had higher hay yield and quality, making them more profitable for cultivation compared to other tested cultivars. These cultivars are recommended for regional farmers.
