Polycomb protein ZmEMF1a restricts endosperm proliferation and directs differentiation via stage‐specific H2Aub1 and H3K27me3 landscapes in maize

These findings establish ZmEMF1a as an epigenetic regulator that balances endosperm proliferation, cell fate specification, and nutrient accumulation through stage‐specific histone modifications, thereby offering promising targets for enhancing maize yield and nutritional quality.

The domestication-associated WHP10 tandem cluster of amino-acid transporter genes enhances whole-plant protein accumulation in maize.

Improving protein accumulation in maize is essential for sustainable agriculture, yet the regulatory mechanisms governing the intermediate "flow" of organic nitrogen remain elusive. Here, we reveal that the maize stem acts as a critical regulatory node for nitrogen allocation. By integrating spatial transcriptomics and...
