Fig. 1. Map of study sites from all 115 papers. The red dots represent the coordinates of the study sites in each paper, and the yellow shading represents the countries in which the studies were conducted. The climate delineations – temperate (22 observations, 4 papers), subtropical (488 observations, 95 papers), tropical (69 observations, 16 papers) – are shown between the horizontal lines.

The image is an announcement for a new publication from the MSU Plant Resilience Institute. At the top, a green banner displays the title "NEW PRI PUBLICATION" in bold white text. Below is the paper title in white over a textured green background: "Genome-wide association studies and modeling of stomatal gas conductance reveal genetic control of water-use efficiency in sorghum." There are three circular headshot photos on the left with text below that states: "Singh, Newton, and Thompson, Plant Physiology (2026)." There is a figure on the right showing natural variations in leaf anatomical traits in sorghum. Logos for Michigan State University and the Plant Resilience Institute are at the bottom right.
With the increasing risk of droughts threatening global food security, PRI is working towards a more resilient future. In a new study lead by Dr. Anuradha Singh, the team examines the role of leaf traits in improving drought resilience in sorghum: academic.oup.com/plphys/artic... #PlantScience

Fig. 3 (shortened, full legend in paper): Transcriptome analysis of accessions no. 66 (HS) and no. 119 (HR) before and after aphid infestation. (A) Experiment design of aphid infestation and transcriptome sample collection. (B) Heatmap of sample correlation. Dark green indicates high correlation, while white or light green indicate low correlation. (C) PCA of all samples. Each point represents a single sample, and shapes indicate different experimental groups (D1190d, D1195d, D1199d, D660d, D664d, and D669d). The x-axis (Dim1) and y-axis (Dim2) represent the first and second principal components, which explain 54.7% and 24.3% of the total variance, respectively. Confidence ellipses indicate the 90% confidence intervals for different accessions. (D) Bar plot showing the number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in six pairwise comparisons across time points. Up-regulated genes are shown in green, and down-regulated genes in orange.
