A SAUR gene enhances maize drought resilience by promoting silk elongation

Nature, Published online: 20 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10566-9

The Small Auxin Up RNA (SAUR) protein ZmSAUR72 in maize (Zea mays) promotes silk growth via regulation of H+-ATPase activity, and is a key determinant of the anthesis-silking interval and thus resilience to drought.

Androgen activity in the male embryonic hindbrain drives lethal PFA ependymoma

Nature, Published online: 25 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10264-6

Androgen activity in the male embryonic hindbrain prolongs hindbrain differentiation in male individuals and drives sex differences in the incidence and prognosis of posterior fossa type A (PFA) ependymoma, an aggressive childhood brain tumour.
