Comparative proteomics tests whether protein-level cold responses show stronger cross-species conservation than previously observed at the transcript level, andStructural divergence of LEA3 in maize suggests that transcriptional induction alone does not ensure freezing tolerance; functional protection likely requires i...

Temporal drone phenotyping captures crop development, but irregular flight schedules complicate comparisons across environments. We release curated imagery from 356 flights across 19 Genomes to Fields environments containing 1,180 maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids. To evaluate its utility, we integrated functional principal...

Summary Flowering plants (angiosperms) exhibit extraordinary species diversity, ∼200-fold variation in genome size, and relatively compact coding regions, presenting both a unique challenge and opportunity for DNA language models. Here, we introduce PlantCAD2, an extended-context, plant-specific DNA language model with...
