Same field, different environment: New study deciphers why maize plants flower at different times–and why it matters
A new international study in G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics peeled back the husk of maize, revealing a hidden layer of genetic variation that explains why maize grown side by side perceive the same environment differently, and why this matters for future breeding strategies.

Cold-loving fungi fight frostbite, but can’t take the heat
To the unaided eye, Antarctic soil and alpine glaciers may appear to be barren wastelands devoid of life. But some microbes call hostile habitats like these home. Research on one such organism, published in the latest issue of G3, reveals some of the mechanisms behind cold adaptation—and explains why these otherwise hardy creatures can’t survive…
