Grasses in the Panicoideae, Aristidoideae, Chloridoideae, Micrairoideae, Arundinoideae, and Danthonioideae (PACMAD) clade independently colonized cold environments from warm-climate ancestors, but whether their molecular responses to freezing reflect shared evolutionary solutions or lineage-specific innovations remains...

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...
